Could your IRA be part of your giving plan?

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is one way eligible individuals can support older adults in our community while potentially receiving tax benefits.

Wondering if a QCD is right for you? Here are three important things to know:
✅ You must be at least 70½ years old when making the gift.
✅ Funds must be transferred directly from your IRA custodian to a qualified charity.
✅ Annual IRS limits apply.

Your generosity can help create meaningful connections, support essential services, and bring more joy to older adults throughout our community.

To explore your giving options, contact Kathy Pappas at 941-556-3253 or [email protected], and consult your tax or financial advisor to confirm your eligibility.

More confidence. More friendship. More good days. 💙💚

Every gift helps create opportunities for older adults to stay active, build meaningful connections, and enjoy the moments that make life brighter.

From wellness classes that inspire movement to programs that bring people together, your generosity helps make it all possible.

Your support creates more than moments of joy. It helps build a stronger, more connected community.

Every day is a fun day here!

For Kathy, our Venice Senior Center Coordinator, there's nothing more rewarding than seeing members enjoy their time together.

What's your why?

10/20/2026

Consistency creates lasting impact. 💙💚

From nourishing meals to welcoming programs and meaningful connections, dependable support helps ensure older adults in our community have opportunities to thrive throughout the year.

A multi-year giving commitment allows us to plan ahead, strengthen our programs, and continue creating moments of joy. A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA may be one way to support that commitment if you qualify.

To explore your giving options, contact Kathy Pappas at 941-556-3253 or [email protected].

Your IRA could do more than support your retirement. It could help create brighter days for older adults in our community.

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) allows eligible individuals to make a gift directly from their IRA to a qualified charity, potentially offering tax benefits while supporting a cause they care about.

A QCD may also count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), making it a giving option worth exploring with your tax or financial advisor.

Interested in learning more? Contact Kathy Pappas at 941-556-3253 or [email protected] to explore your giving options.

Aging is a varied experience, but one that unites us. Let’s build a society that works for us all.

Aging isn't about slowing down. It's about discovering what's still possible!

In celebration of Ageism Awareness Day, October 9, 2026, Senior Friendship Centers came together to challenge outdated stereotypes about aging and celebrate the opportunities that come with every stage of life!

We were honored to welcome Marc Middleton, founder of Growing Bolder, who shared an inspiring keynote reminding us that age doesn't define our potential, purpose, or possibilities.

The celebration also marked an exciting new chapter: the launch of our Longevity Club!
Developed by Growing Bolder, Longevity Club brings people together through inspiring stories, meaningful conversations, lifelong learning, and activities that encourage healthier, more connected, and more purposeful lives.

JOIN US HERE AT OUR SARASOTA CAMPUS!
Longevity Club | 2nd Monday of each month
> 1st Session: November 9, 2026 | 1:30 PM
> 1888 Brother Geenen Way, Sarasota, FL 34236 - Room C
> You can sign up in person or call Erika at 941 556 3265

Here's to growing older, growing bolder, and rethinking what aging can be! 💚💙
