What is Planned Giving?
A planned gift is a powerful way to achieve your personal financial goals while also providing Morgan's Caring Connection with essential, long-term support.
By customizing a gift that aligns with your financial, estate, and tax plans, you can enjoy tax benefits, secure your financial future, and make a lasting contribution to the future of Morgan's Caring Connection.
As you consider your planned giving options, you have the flexibility to designate your bequest toward areas where Morgan's Caring Connection has the greatest need, or you can focus on a specific aspect of our work that resonates deeply with you.
We encourage you to consult with a professional advisor such as a lawyer or financial planner to explore the options that best suit your financial situation. They can help you maximize the benefits available under current tax laws while fulfilling your legacy goals.

We would also appreciate it if you could inform us of your planned legacy gift, so we can recognize your generosity and commitment.
Planned Giving Options
You can include a provision in your will or living trust that allocates a portion of your estate to a designated beneficiary, such as Morgan's Caring Connection. Making a bequest offers several advantages:
Significant Impact
You can make a substantial contribution while retaining control over your assets during your lifetime.
Tax Benefits
Your estate may qualify for federal tax deductions, potentially reducing the overall tax burden.
Enduring Legacy
Your generosity will create a lasting impact, supporting families with special needs dependents in our community.
Through your estate, you can bequeath cash, securities, real estate, and tangible personal property, such as artwork, to Morgan's Caring Connection. There are various types of bequests, each requiring specific language in your will.

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
At Morgan's Caring Connection, we understand the importance of securing a legacy that reflects your values and passion for helping others. One powerful way to contribute to our mission while benefiting from tax advantages is through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).
What is a QCD?
A Qualified Charitable Distribution allows individuals aged 70½ or older to donate up to $100,000 per year directly from their Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to a qualified charity like Morgan's Caring Connection. By making a QCD, you can fulfill your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) without increasing your taxable income.
Why Choose a QCD?
Tax Efficiency
QCDs offer significant tax advantages. Since the distribution goes directly to the charity, it is not included in your taxable income, which can help reduce your overall tax liability.
Satisfy Your RMD
If you are 73 or older and required to take an RMD, a QCD can satisfy this requirement while supporting a cause you care deeply about.
Make a Meaningful Impact
Your QCD will directly support Morgan's Caring Connection's mission to provide grants and resources to families with special needs dependents. Your gift will help secure the future of those who need it most.
How to Make a QCD
Making a Qualified Charitable Distribution is straightforward:
Contact Your IRA Custodian
Reach out to your IRA custodian to inform them of your intent to make a QCD to Morgan's Caring Connection.
Provide Our Information
You will need to provide the following details to your IRA custodian:
Specify the Amount
Let your IRA custodian know the amount you wish to contribute, up to $100,000 per year.
Notify Us
Please inform us of your generous contribution so we can ensure your gift is used according to your wishes.
Your Legacy, Their Future
By choosing to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution, you not only gain financial benefits but also leave a lasting legacy. Your support will help families plan for the future of their special needs dependents, ensuring they receive the care and resources they deserve for years to come.
