Other Ways to Give
There are a variety of ways you can financially support the mission of Cleveland Park Congregational UCC and many provide tax advantages. Please talk with your financial advisor to see if one of the following options is right for you.
Give Stock or Real Estate
When you donate stock or real estate you avoid paying capital gains taxes and can typically take a tax deduction for the full fair market value. Our 501 C tax exemption allows us to sell the stock or real estate without paying taxes, so more of your donation goes to supporting our mission.
Make an IRA Distribution
A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a direct transfer of funds from your IRA custodian, payable to a qualified charity. Unlike regular IRA withdrawals, those done through a QCD are excluded from your taxable income. Additionally, QCDs can be counted toward satisfying your required minimum distributions (RMDs) for the year, as long as certain rules are met.
Use a Donor Advised Fund
A donor advised fund is like an investment account (e.g., managed by Fidelity, Schwab, or other brokerage), for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about. When you contribute cash, securities, or other assets to the fund, you are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction. Those funds can then be invested for tax free growth and you can recommend grants to Cleveland Park Congregational UCC or virtually any other IRS qualified public charity.
