Concerning Stewardship

As Christians and members of First Christian Church, we realize the importance of financially supporting the programs and mission of our church. It is our custom to hold a fall pledge campaign in which we solicit pledges to underwrite the operating budget for the coming year. This year will be no exception. The pledges that are received almost always are a commitment for cash donations to be given regularly throughout the coming year. While these donations provide the liquidity to fund the operation of our church and are crucial to our mission, donations in other forms can also be made. It is estimated that 90% of America's wealth is in non-cash assets, yet a very small percentage of church giving comes from these assets. Most of us rarely consider giving donations of non-cash gifts to achieve the same purpose; however donations of common stock, other securities and property can be a very wise giving choice.

For example, by donating publicly traded stock that has appreciated, the donor will receive a tax deduction in the amount of the market value of the stock, while avoiding any capital gains tax on its appreciation. In this way the donor can maximize the gift to the church by being relieved of any tax obligation on the gift. This is an especially beneficial giving strategy if the donor has received a significant long term capital gain from the stock and could also use a charitable deduction to lower income tax liability. Please consider if this is a wise choice for you. For more information concerning the donation of securities or property to FCC, please contact Terry S., Trustee.
