Gifts of appreciated stocks, mutual funds, or other securities can be a great way to give. If you have owned the asset for more than one year, you may be able to deduct the full fair market value as a charitable contribution. In many cases, this approach can reduce or eliminate capital gains tax on the appreciation, allowing you to maximize the impact of your gift.

If you are required to take minimum distributions from a retirement account, directing that distribution straight to Venture may also provide tax advantages while supporting the mission.

A donor-advised fund allows you to contribute assets, receive an immediate tax deduction, and continue investing those funds tax-free. Then, as the Lord leads, you can recommend grants from your fund to support the mission and ministry of Venture. It’s a flexible and strategic way to steward your generosity.

Life insurance can become a meaningful legacy gift. To qualify, ownership and beneficiary designation must be transferred to Venture. If the policy is paid-up, your charitable deduction is generally the lesser of the policy’s replacement value or your cost basis. Any future premiums you pay on a gifted policy may also be tax-deductible.

Venture may accept certain non-cash gifts such as automobiles, boats, jewelry, and works of art. Depending on the nature of the gift, there may be tax benefits available.

Donating gold, silver, or other precious metals directly to Venture can be another strategic way to give. Depending on your circumstances, this type of gift may allow you to give appreciated assets in a tax-efficient manner.

Appreciated real estate — including homes, land, or other property you’ve owned for more than one year — may be donated through a direct transfer. Similar to stocks and securities, you may be able to deduct the fair market value of the property and potentially reduce capital gains taxes, depending on your specific situation.

Many employers offer matching gift programs that can multiply your generosity. Check with your human resources department to see if your company participates.

Including Venture in your will, trust, or estate plan is a powerful way to invest in future generations and extend your impact beyond your lifetime.
