Cash Gifts
You can give a cash gift directly to our church through the PCA Foundation. It’s simple, fast, and helps us continue our ministry work without delay.

Non-Cash Gifts
You can give not only publicly-traded stock but also other more highly appreciated non-cash assets such as privately-held business interests, real estate, investment funds, or even cryptocurrency. Giving these assets saves more in taxes for greater giving by eliminating capital gains while still enabling a charitable deduction for the full fair-market-value – effectively a double-deduction. Give 30, 40, or even 50 percent more, from your taxes rather than your personal wealth.

Estate Giving
Plan and direct your Kingdom giving during and at the end of life while maintaining flexibility and reducing cost and administrative burden. Project end-of-life charitable gifts and then accelerate them to remaining years of high taxable income in order to convert maximum tax to Kingdom use. Give up to or even over 100 percent more, from your taxes rather than your personal wealth and children' s inheritance.

Income and Wealth Reservation Gifts
Give to a trust – or in exchange for an annuity – that pays income for life or a term of years and then grants the remainder to your church and other favorite charities. Take a charitable deduction now for the amount that will flow to church and charities later, and receive or have your beneficiaries receive income payments in the meantime. Fund the trust with an appreciated asset that the trust then sells in order to diversify your income stream, and realize the capital gain from the sale only as you receive income distributions over time, effectively deferring the tax and lowering the tax cost. Or turn the trust around – have it grant the income to charity for life or a term of years, and then pay the remainder to your beneficiaries, reducing or eliminating gift and estate tax. In each case, give more, from your taxes, either income or gift and estate taxes, rather than your or your beneficiaries’ income.

Donor-Advised Funds and Other Giving Tools
Give to a donor-advised fund and deduct amounts this year and grant them out to your church and other charities over this and future years. Maximize the value of the deduction by realizing it now rather than in the future, and by fully utilizing it in years of extraordinary taxable income rather than losing it in following lower-income years. Use the donor-advised fund to “bunch” giving for multiple years into a single year and realize both the itemized deduction and the standard deduction. Similarly realize the value of both the itemized and standard deductions by making a qualified charitable distribution from your IRA. Use these and other giving tools and strategies to give 5 to more than 20 percent more, from your taxes rather than your personal wealth.
