• Make a QCD
A Qualified Charitable Distribution can satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution and isn’t included in taxable income.
• Leave a legacy
Naming a charity as a beneficiary of part of your IRA is a simple way to create long-term impact.

Are the ongoing costs of homeownership holding you back from a truly worry-free retirement? 🤔
Many people are surprised to realize how affordable and valuable Covenant Living can be once they compare the expenses. We offer a variety of financial options with different fees, health care provisions, and even estate benefits.
Ready to see how the costs stack up? Consider the expenses of staying in your current home that disappear when you move to a senior living community:
✅ Home Ownership: Mortgage or rent, soaring property taxes, home insurance.
✅ Upkeep & Hidden Costs: Utilities, landscaping, unexpected repairs, and maintenance.
✅ Lifestyle: Groceries, security systems, gym memberships, and specialized caregiver services.
The most valuable return is your peace of mind. You'll know your assets and income are protected, even if future health care needs arise.
