At Relational Peace, our mission is to build lasting relationships—with God, ourselves, and others. Through our programs and initiatives, we enhance well-being in families, congregations, and communities.

We are excited to share an excellent opportunity: If you are at least 70½ years old, you may make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA directly to Sweeten Life Systems. When done properly, a QCD is excluded from taxable income even if you don’t itemize deductions. If you are taking RMDs (required starting at age 73), a QCD counts toward your RMD for the year. In 2025, you can donate up to $108,000 per person from your IRA as a QCD.

How to Make a QCD to Sweeten Life Systems/Relational Peace

Provide the following information to your IRA custodian when requesting the distribution:

  • Legal Name: Sweeten Life Systems

  • Tax Exempt Number: 31‑1254534

  • Mailing Address: P.O. Box 498455, Cincinnati, Ohio 45249

Steps to Complete a QCD:

  1. Contact your IRA custodian to request a charitable distribution to Sweeten Life Systems.

  2. Specify the amount (up to $108,000 per person for 2025) and ensure it is sent directly from your IRA to the organization.

  3. Confirm your distribution qualifies as a QCD so it counts toward your RMD if applicable.

  4. Keep the acknowledgment letter we provide for your tax records.

As a valued donor, your gift will make a lasting impact—supporting programs that transform individuals and communities, while giving you a tax-efficient way to give.

Thank you for your generous support. Your contributions empower us to carry out our mission and create meaningful change in the lives of those we serve.

P.S. Consult a tax professional or financial advisor to ensure compliance with all IRS rules and to determine if other retirement accounts (like a 401(k) or 403(b)) could be used in a tax-efficient giving strategy.
