If you go up to the average 28-year old and ask them to write you a check for something, what would happen? Well, in most cases, they would say something like, “Checks? I don’t use checks.” But the truth is, whether someone is 28, 38, 58, or 78 years old, fewer and fewer people are using checks and instead are using various forms of electronic options for all of their financial and giving transactions. Consider using our online giving – you will probably do a better job of honoring God with the money you earn by planning your giving instead of being spontaneous on Sundays.
Gifts of appreciated securities are a smart and simple way to maximize the effectiveness of your charitable giving. If stocks or mutual funds* you’ve held for more than a year have increased in value, you may want to consider using these assets — rather than cash — to fund your giving. By transferring ownership of your long-term stock to Life Pointe Church you make a gift to support the ministry, avoid the capital gains tax you would pay if the stock were sold, and you may claim a charitable income tax deduction for the current fair market value of the asset.
*Does not apply to tax-exempt retirement plans (e.g., IRAs, 401(k)s, etc.)
These transfers can be complicated. Please call Life Pointe Church to find out how to transfer mutual funds.
