Scott and Lisa Nelson exemplify the power of combining hands-on service with strategic philanthropy. As dedicated Los Angeles Regional Food Bank supporters, they've donated their time and financial resources to fight hunger in LA County. Their latest step included leveraging their IRA through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) to make an even more significant impact. By donating directly from their IRA, the Nelsons avoid taxes on required minimum distributions, ensuring that 100% of their contribution goes toward feeding our neighbors. Lisa explains, “It's incredibly easy—you can set it up online, and the donation goes straight to the Food Bank. It's a simple way to make a big difference." Their story highlights how financial planning and passion for the mission can transform lives.

Congrats 1up Counseling Services on your inaugural year!

Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude—and giving back. Donor-advised funds provide a powerful way for families to make impactful charitable contributions together. This week we've already seen dozens of grants made by our clients, and I expect to see even more over the next few days. Around the Thanksgiving table, families can reflect on shared values, discuss priorities, and decide where to direct their generosity. Many of our clients want to instill generosity as a family value, so these conversations are invaluable. Donor-advised Funds create a framework for intentional giving, making it easy to involve every generation in discussions about the causes they care about. It’s a chance to teach children and grandchildren the importance of philanthropy while aligning on a shared vision for impact.
