As you consider your year-end giving, now is a great time to explore ways to make the most significant impact and receive the most benefit before December 31. Many givers are discovering that asset-based gifts, beyond cash, can yield both greater Kingdom outcomes and significant tax advantages.
Here are a few smart ways to give this season:
1. Gifts of Appreciated Stock
Avoid capital gains tax and deduct the fair-market value of publicly traded stock or mutual fund shares held more than one year.
2. Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
If you’re age 70½ or older, you can give up to $108,000 directly from your IRA. It counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution and is excluded from taxable income.
3. Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) Gifts
Make a gift to your DAF this year for an immediate deduction and direct the funds to your church or favorite ministries over time. Consider our church for your largest grant this year, or consider a percentage of the current balance, such as 50%.
4. Real Estate or Land Gifts
Give appreciated property to avoid capital gains and deduct the appraised value. Be sure to begin early for proper processing.
5. Business Interest or Closely Held Stock
Donate a portion of your company ownership before a sale or year-end distribution. You’ll gain a fair-market deduction and reduce capital gains exposure.
6. Charitable Trusts or Planned Gifts
Establish a Charitable Remainder or Lead Trust to combine income, estate, and generosity goals with tax benefits.
7. Year-End Bonus or Business Revenue Gifts
Designate part of your bonus, commission, or business income as a worshipful gift with an immediate deduction.
Please consult with your qualified tax advisor for additional details.
