In the past, your United Church ministry has received gifts from a generous donor giving shares or mutual funds through the Foundation. There is still time to receive more of these gifts this year!
People are looking for smart ways to give support to the ministries that they love! The process is simple: The Foundation takes care of the gifting process including the tax receipt and forwards you the money. Less work for you administering the gifts and your members benefit not only from receiving a charitable tax receipt, but also because they do not pay capital gains tax on donated shares or mutual funds. This could mean a bigger gift in support of your ministry!
From refugee sponsorship and community outreach, to music programming, to Sunday School and seniors’ ministry, to roofs, ramps and boilers, gifts of securities have helped make so much good happen for hundreds of United Church organizations this year. How could a gift help your ministry before year’s end?
