CloseHow has Covenant Living performed in the past few years?
Covenant Living undergoes an annual independent audit which provides our Board of Directors with an overview of how the organization is financially positioned. Fitch Ratings affirmed Covenant Living’s rating to an A- with a stable outlook in March 2025.
CloseWhat is your gift acceptance policy for year-end gifts?
Per IRS regulations, gifts to Covenant Living are deductible in the calendar year made. Thus, donations charged to a credit card before the end of the calendar year are recorded in the same calendar year, even if the credit card bill isn’t paid until the following calendar year. Additionally, checks are recorded in the calendar year in which they were mailed. If a gift is dropped off in the Director of Philanthropy’s (DOP) mailbox, slipped under the DOP door by 11:59 PM on December 31, or sent by mail and post-marked on or before that date, it will be recorded as a gift made in the same calendar year even if it is not processed until January of the next calendar year. The donor gift acknowledgment letter will reflect the year in which the gift was made.

Did you know there’s a way to support the causes you care about while being mindful of your taxes?
For individuals age 70½ and older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) allows you to give directly from your IRA to a qualified 501(c)(3) charity without paying federal income tax on the amount donated. For many retirees, a QCD may also satisfy part or all of their Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). In 2026, individuals may give up to $111,000 annually through a QCD, with the limit indexed for inflation.
It’s one of several strategies that can make charitable giving both meaningful and financially thoughtful.
