You can also give non-cash assets such as stocks, real estate, IRA’s, and other assets. The benefit to do it this way is it saves you on owing any capital gains taxes! Normally, if you had shares of a stock and you wanted to make a gift to the church, you would sale the stock and donate the proceeds. However, in doing this, you now have a tax obligation and will owe capital gains taxes. Instead, donate the stock directly to us! As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, we are exempt from any capital gains taxes. So, you still make your financial gift which qualifies as a tax deduction as a charitable donation AND we all avoid a tax obligation. It’s a win/win! If you would like to donate a non-cash asset, please contact Pastor Justin Oswald at justin.oswald@transformationchurch.com and he can walk you through the process.
