Join us at Compass Financial Services on Wednesday, February 18th for an educational webinar, Better Together: The Benefits of Charitable Giving.

We’re excited to invite you to a special educational event featuring the Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines, an organization dedicated to improving quality of life through charitable giving, donor support, and community leadership.

If you’ve ever wondered how to make your giving more strategic, tax‑efficient, or impactful, this presentation will walk you through the tools, resources, and planning opportunities available to you.

What We’ll Cover:

• How donor‑advised funds work and when they make sense
• “Bunching” charitable gifts to maximize tax benefits
• Using Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from IRAs to support nonprofits you care about
• Creating long‑term giving through designated and legacy funds
• Ways to give beyond cash, including appreciated securities, real estate, business interests, and more
• 2026 legislative updates that may impact charitable deductions and state tax credits, including changes to Endow Iowa

Lunch will be provided for those who register for the in-person event, so please register for yourself and anyone you plan to bring. When RSVPing, please be sure to indicate how many guests you plan on bringing.
