Tax-Advantaged Giving |
|
There are many ways to simplify your charitable giving by setting up direct distributions from retirement or designated charitable accounts. Three of the most common forms of tax-advantaged giving are gifts of appreciated stock, Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from retirement accounts, and gifts from Donor Advised Funds (DAFs). We recommend speaking with your financial advisor to set up these payments.
You can make a gift of stock directly to All Saints' or any other charitable organization. When you make a stock gift, your shares are transferred to the beneficiary's account. As a result, you pay no capital gains tax on the profit you've made on the stock, plus the value of the stock counts toward your IRS charitable contributions. Let's say you bought stock worth $2000 and now it's worth $5000. If you sold it and gave that money as a gift, you'd actually only be able to give $5000 minus the tax you paid on the profit of $3000. Depending on your income and how long you held the stock that tax is usually between 10% and 37%. So by gifting the stock directly, you're giving 10-37% more at no cost to you. Plus, you're still able to deduct the value of your gift from your 2025 taxes as a charitable contribution.
The second type of gift is a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your retirement account. Distributions from retirement accounts (other than Roth IRAs) are taxed at your normal income tax rate if you take the distribution for yourself. People over 73 must take an annual distribution (Required Minimum Distribution or RMD), which often leads to a higher tax burden and can sometimes push them into an even higher tax bracket. QCDs are gifts made directly from your retirement account to All Saints' or another charitable organization. They are deducted from your taxable income dollar for dollar, plus they count toward your RMD, which again means that you can give even more by making a QCD. Anyone over the age of 70-and-a-half can make a QCD from their retirement account. You can speak to the custodian of your retirement account about making a QCD.
Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) are like charitable investment accounts. Money transferred into a DAF is immediately tax-deductible. The money in a DAF then appreciates tax-free until the donor recommends a distribution to the charity of their choice. If you already have a DAF, you can make a tax-free gift to All Saints' from the fund, or you can speak to your financial institution about setting up a DAF under your name.
Stock gifts, QCDs, and DAFs can be a powerful way to give--and can help get you into a right spiritual relationship with your money. You might consider taking advantage of the market highs to make a stock gift now to pay off your pledge, make a contribution to the Rectory Renovation Campaign, or as an extra gift to All Saints'. If you're planning to make a stock gift or a QCD or if you have any questions, please contact the church office at [email protected] or 718-768-1156. The Stewardship Team and the clergy are always happy to discuss as well. As always, we highly recommend speaking to your financial planner for advice. God bless you for your generosity!
