OTHER GIVING OPTIONS

IRA Charitable
Distributions

For donors 72 years of age (73 if you reach age 72 after Dec. 21, 2024), you are eligible to  make a qualified charitable distribution from an IRA up to $105,000 per person or  $210,000 per couple. For those taxpayers who do not itemize and claim the standard  deduction, this creates tax savings as IRA charitable distributions are not included in your  gross income.

Gifts of Appreciated Stock or Mutual Funds

For those who have owned mutual funds, ETFs or stocks for at least one year that have  appreciated in value, you may be eligible for a deduction based on the market value of  your investments. Gifts of stock are often a preferred giving method by investors with  taxable investment accounts as they can avoid long term capital gains tax on their  holdings and claim a deduction for the fair market value of the donated shares. We recommend notifying us and your brokerage firm to ensure the transaction is completed  by the end of the year.

Please contact giving@redeemerathens.com or call the office (706.227.3344) for more  details on stock gifts to the church and IRA charitable distributions.
