Use Your QCD to Give the Gift of Home

Dec 16, 2025 | Newsletter

 

For families in Lake and Sumter Counties, having a safe, stable home is life-changing. Through the generosity of supporters like you, Habitat for Humanity of Lake-Sumter helps families take that vital step toward stability, independence, and a brighter future. Every home we build is more than walls and a roof—it’s a place where families can grow, children can thrive, and parents can focus on building a better life.

Did you know your Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) can make an immediate impact? Donors who are 70½ or older can use their QCD from an IRA to support Habitat Lake-Sumter. Many find that a direct transfer of funds from a QCD, DAF, or IRA is a simple way to make a difference for local families while also aligning with their year-end charitable goals.

This year, families like Melanie and her two children—a son and a daughter—have experienced the joy of moving into a home they helped build themselves. With every nail hammered and wall raised, they took a step toward stability and independence—something that wouldn’t be possible without supporters like you. Your generosity doesn’t just provide a house; it provides hope, security, and the foundation for a brighter future.

As you consider your year-end giving, we hope you’ll keep Habitat Lake-Sumter in mind. Every gift—big or small—helps keep a home within reach for a local family. Your support truly transforms lives and strengthens our community.

Planning to give through your DAF, IRA, or another QCD? Contact Kim today to make your gift count.

Please consult your financial or tax advisor to determine if a QCD or other year-end gift is right for you.
