AFM is happy to receive stock donations for publicly held stock. A stock donation instruction sheet is available right here or upon request from AFM’s accounting department (securities@afm-us.org)
Gifted stock will be sold immediately upon receipt to limit AFM’s market risk exposure. The Director of Accounting will accept, process, and book stock donations. Acknowledgment of the gift will follow within 10 days indicating the name of the stock and the number of shares gifted. Valuation of the gift is the responsibility of the donor. Trade commission, fees and short-term holding losses related to the stock gift will be borne by the fund that is receiving the gift.
While all are called to offer tithes and offerings during our lifetime, some are able to give a significant gift through estate planning. AFM invites you to consider a legacy gift. Download our planned giving form and email it to finances@afm-us.org for more information.
Other Forms of Giving
AFM recommends consulting with a financial advisor to review whether any of the following giving strategies would be worth consideration. For tax questions, please contact a licensed accountant or CPA. Click here for the document version of this information.
The donor establishes this fund and can then gift cash, stock, real estate or business interests into the fund. Part, or all, of the gift can be deducted from the donor’s taxes in the year of the gift. Inside the DAF, funds grow tax free. At any time, the donor can make recommendations to grant money to the charity of their choice. Any remaining funds left in the DAF at death can be granted out immediately, or over a specified period of time.
For individuals making “required minimum distributions” from an IRA (usually age 70.5+), a QCD is a direct gift to a specific charity from the individual’s retirement account. The gift satisfies the required minimum distribution dollar-for-dollar. No tax is owed on the distribution and the individual cannot claim a tax deduction on the gift.
Drafted by an attorney, CLTs function inversely to CRTs. A large gift can be made into a CLT. Then for a set period of time, or until the grantor’s death, income is distributed to charity. At the death of the grantor, the remaining funds in the CLT are left to loved ones, potentially reducing estate or gift tax consequences.
Drafted by an attorney, the CRT is an efficient way for the donor to receive an immediate tax deduction on assets gifted into the trust and income for the remainder of the grantor’s life. The “remainder” of the trust is left as a legacy to charity when the grantor dies. Inside the CRT, funds can be invested for tax-free growth. Usually, the donor prefers to gift highly appreciated assets into the trust, as most/all of the gains on the gift will not be taxed.
In addition to making a charity the beneficiary on a new/existing life insurance policy, individuals can gift a life policy to a charity or donor advised fund (referenced above). The present value of the insurance policy can be deducted immediately on the donor’s taxes and future premium payments may be deductible for the donor.
