Faithful Finances: How to Give Smarter and Leave a Lasting Legacy (The Drew Mariani Show)

In a time when markets are booming and many Americans are sitting on appreciated assets, Drew Mariani sits down with financial expert Joe Chickey to explore how Catholics can approach charitable giving with both strategy and heart. From gifting appreciated stock to using Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from IRAs, Joe walks you through practical, tax-savvy ways to support the Church and the causes you care about... without unnecessary financial burden. You'll also hear about legacy giving, why so few Americans have wills, and how thinking ahead can allow your generosity to have lasting impact beyond your lifetime. Whether you’re preparing for retirement, sorting through your investments, or simply wondering how to align your finances with your faith, this conversation is full of smart advice, real-life stories, and encouragement to start asking the right questions... no matter your age or income.
