Contribute Appreciated Stocks/Mutual Funds

With the stock market setting new highs over the past few weeks, now may be the best time for you to consider making your gift using appreciated stock in your portfolio. Gifts of appreciated stock you've owned for more than a year provide you a double benefit: 

1. Assuming you itemize deductions, you can deduct the full fair market value of your contribution; and
2. You will avoid the capital gains that may have been due if you had sold the stock yourself and then gifted the proceeds. 

Therefore, contributing the appreciated stock outright rather than selling the stock and contributing the cash proceeds greatly increases the tax benefits from your gift. To make a gift of appreciated stock, please [email protected].

Make a Charitable Distribution from your Individual Retirement Account. 

If you are over age 70 1/2 and own a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you can make a direct distribution of up to $100,000 from your account to qualified charities such as Youth for Christ. This distribution does not create an income tax deduction, but does count toward your annual required minimum distribution. Contact your IRA custodian to find out how to make a qualified distribution. 

Youth for Christ is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization and your gift is tax-deductible - IRS non-profit tax I.D. # 91-6000608. 

By providing your email address to YFC, we may send you periodic updates about ministry activities or events.
