Giving
Giving Options with Potential Tax Benefits
There are a variety of other giving opportunities to support the Lord’s work now (while at the same time, potentially receiving tax benefits) and in the future.
Some options include:
*Workplace giving (as some employers may match donations)
*Donating stock, cryptocurrency, real estate or other assets
*Planned gifts through wills, trusts, Donor-Advised Funds (DAF), and/or Qualified Charitable Donations (QCD)^
^ Qualified Charitable Donations are available if you are aged 70 ½ or older. These donations count toward your required minimum distribution.
Please speak with your financial advisor, tax advisor, or attorney for specific details on your circumstances. There may also be other resources available to assist you (ex.
WELS programs).
If you have any additional questions, please reach out to the Finance Team at St. Mark.
