Year-End Giving

Year-End Generosity Strategies and Resources

1. Cash gifts. You can give up to 60% of your adjusted gross income if you itemize when filing your taxes and receive an income tax deduction.

2. Non-cash gifts. Appreciated private non-cash assets for giving include family and other privately held businesses and investment funds in the form of S corporation, LLC or limited partnership, stock options, real estate, and even cryptocurrency. Giving such assets produces the largest deductions, consisting of exclusion from capital gains (the equivalent of a deduction plus an actual charitable deduction.

3. Qualified Charitable Deduction (QCD). After reaching age 70 ½, you can make a QCD up to $100,000 direct-to-charity transfer from an IRA. The amount rolled over counts against any required minimum distribution and is excluded from gross income in the equivalent of a charitable deduction, with the advantage over a deduction of not blocking the IRA owner from also claiming the standard deduction.

4. Fund a Charitable Gift Annuity. PCA Foundation or National Christian Foundation (see contact info below).
