Donating appreciated stocks in a taxable investment portfolio can provide tax benefits to the donor. Consult with your tax advisor to determine the individual strategy that is right for you. To give a stock gift, please contact matthewn@lifepointohio.com.
For donors who are 70 ½ or older, there is an opportunity to make a direct transfer from your IRA directly to Lifepoint Church without it being considered a taxable distribution. The donation can also help meet all or part of the IRA’s required minimum distribution for the year.
A DAF is a charitable savings account allowing you to contribute various types of assets (cash/stocks/non-cash assets which can include your business and real estate) to the account and then make donations to charities from the account when you are ready. You receive the tax deduction when the contributions are made to the account not when the distribution is made to the church.
Establishing a well-designed legacy plan can potentially protect your loved ones from probate taxes while allowing you to use the savings to leave a gift to the church.
