• Discuss with your trusted advisor(s) whether a gift of appreciated stock is appropriate for your end-of-year plan.
• Although IRA owners are not required to make Required Minimum Distributions in 2020, individuals 70 ½ and older can still reap the benefits of making a Qualified Charitable Distribution to one of our nonprofit endowments.
