WAYS TO GIVE
For donors 70 1/2 or older, a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from an IRA allows you to donate directly from your account to Clay Church, reducing your taxable income, even if you don’t itemize. Here’s how it works:
-
You can make a gift to Clay Church through a QCD starting at age 70 1⁄2, even if you are not yet required to take a RMD.
-
Your gift can be any amount up to $100,000 for individuals or $200,000 for couples, and must be transferred directly from your plan administrator to Clay Church.
-
If you are 72 years of age or older, making a qualified charitable distribution can satisfy all or a part of your RMD.
QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTION (QCD)
DONOR ADVISED FUND (DAF)
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that provides an immediate tax benefit to you and allows you to grant funds to charities of your choice. A donor-advised fund is a great way to manage your giving to Clay Church and other charities in a simple and efficient way.
GIFTS OF APPRECIATED SECURITIES
You may be able to give more with less and save on taxes by donating appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds to Clay Church. If you have owned the asset for more than one year, you may receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full market value of the stock (up to a maximum of 30% of your adjusted gross income) and avoid paying the capital gains tax on any increase in the value of the stock.
EVERY GIFT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
- 2 Corinthians 9:7
