stocks
Gifting appreciated stocks can provide tax benefits, as you can deduct what they're worth now and you don't have to pay taxes on the profit. This means you can give more and pay less in taxes than if you sold the stocks and donated the cash. To learn how you can gift stocks, contact Carolyn@Beacon.Church.
Crypto
Gifting appreciated cryptocurrency can provide tax benefits, as you can deduct what it's worth now and you don't have to pay taxes on the profit. This means you can give more and pay less in taxes than if you sold the crypto and donated the cash. Give crypto now through Engiven.
employee matching
Many employers will match your charitable donations, effectively doubling your impact! To see if your company offers a matching gift program and how to submit your donation for matching, check with your HR department.
estate planning
Including your church in your estate plan through your will, trust, or beneficiary designations allows you to leave a lasting legacy while potentially reducing estate taxes for your heirs. To explore options like naming the church as a beneficiary of retirement accounts, life insurance policies, or other assets, contact Carolyn@Beacon.Church or your estate planning attorney.
DONOR ADVISED FUNDS
Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) allow you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to your church over time. If you have a DAF with Fidelity, Schwab, or another provider, you can easily designate Beacon Church as a recipient for your charitable distributions.
