Imagine a way to turn your retirement savings into a lasting
legacy that brings health and hope to communities worldwide. With a Qualified
Charitable Distribution (QCD), those aged 70½ or older can give directly from
their IRA to The Rotary Foundation—satisfying required minimum distributions
while sidestepping extra income taxes. This means your gift goes farther,
supporting life-changing projects instead of slipping away to taxes.
Your QCD helps fuel Rotary’s epic mission: ending polio once and
for all, delivering clean water, empowering learners, and creating peace in
places that need it most. Every dollar given is a step toward a world where no
child fears polio and every community can thrive. With the Gates matching 2/1
for Polio, they end up having 200% of the impact.
If you’re ready to make a difference in this powerful way, reach
out for personal guidance. Email Lee Hollingsworth, Major Gifts Officer, at lee@leehollingsworth.com,
