Gifting Stock or Mutual Fund Shares

You can increase the tax benefits of a gift to SUMC by donating stock or mutual fund shares that have increased in value. Your donation will be the fair value of the gift, and you will avoid any capital gains tax that would be owed if you sold the investment.

Let’s assume that you own 100 shares of stock valued at $10,000. You bought the shares for $4,000. You are in a 22% federal tax bracket and would pay a 15% capital gains tax if you sold the investment.

You can deduct the $10,000 value, saving $2,200 in taxes. You also avoid a $6,000 capital gain, which will save an additional $900. Your overall tax benefit is $3,100.

This is 31% of the overall gift. Your savings are greater than if you had contributed cash. While the benefit of this type of gift will always be greater than a cash gift, the benefit will depend on your ordinary and capital gains income tax rates.

The investment must have been held for more than one year before the gift. You also must itemize deductions to receive any benefit. Your overall limit for these types of gifts is 30% of your adjusted gross income, which is lower than applies for cash gifts.

Feel free to speak to Jennifer Steckel, Finance Coordinator, if you need any information on how to complete this type of gift.

Endowment Fund

The Endowment Fund is a permanent fund, which is invested to further the church’s ministries. The donor, often in consultation with Fund Directors, decides how he or she wishes to designate a legacy for the future, and thus provides a permanent resource to witness for Christ. The interest earned on the fund is reinvested back into the church to help further the ministries of Stonebridge UMC. For more information of funds that you can designate moneys toward and other ways to give please contact Pastor Jana.
