More Information on Stock Gifts

Gifts of appropriate property (such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds) that have increased in value since you have owned them can result in extra tax savings , which allows your money to go further for ministry.

If you have held such assets for longer than a year, you can give them to Calvary and deduct the entire market value from your taxable income. In addition to regular tax savings, capital gains tax is not due on assets given to charity. This additional tax savings is the greatest on assets that have increased the most in value and would result in the greatest capital gains, if sold.

Calvary will help you facilitate a stock transfer anytime into one of our brokerage accounts (Charles Schwab, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch or Smith Barney). If the stock has depreciated in value from its base purchase value, the best step is to sell it, deduct the loss on your taxes, and make a tax-deductible, charitable donation of the proceeds.

Please call Michael Welles, our Executive Pastor of Administration, at 714.550.2313 for further details on any of these creative non-cash giving options.
