Frequently Asked Questions

  • A QCD is not a tax-deductible charitable gift. A QCD may, however, count towards the annual IRA required minimum distribution (RMD) and not be deemed taxable income. The church will send you an gift acknowledgement letter which should be kept for your tax return.

    Please consult with your own professional tax advisor regarding this and all appropriate matters.

  • Donations of publicly traded securities are considered non-cash assets and the church cannot place a cash value of such gifts. You will receive a separate acknowledgement from the church of your gift listing the name of the stock and the number of shares. This acknowledgement should be kept for your tax filing.

    Please consult with your own professional tax advisor regarding this and all appropriate matters.

  • Donations from a donor advised fund or charitable trust are not considered tax deductible contributions to the church. The tax deduction was received at the time you made your contribution to the donor advised fund or charitable trust.

    Please consult with your own professional tax advisor regarding this and all appropriate matters.
