Turn appreciated assets into immediate ministry funding.

Yes. When you submit the stock gift form, you specify which ministry or organization should receive the proceeds. We liquidate the shares upon receipt and distribute the funds to your designated recipient, minus a small brokerage commission (typically under $5).

Once shares are transferred to your designated account, proceeds from the sale are typically available within 3–5 business days. We coordinate the entire transfer process and provide donor acknowledgment letters compliant with IRS requirements.

There is no minimum dollar amount for a stock gift. However, because brokerage fees apply to each transaction (typically under $5), very small transfers may not be cost-effective. Most donors find that gifts of $1,000 or more maximize the benefit.

You will receive a donor acknowledgment letter confirming the date of transfer, the number of shares, and the ticker symbol. The letter is compliant with IRS requirements for charitable contribution substantiation. You are responsible for determining the fair market value on the date of transfer for your tax return.

We accept publicly traded stocks, mutual funds, and ETFs. If you hold restricted stock, privately held shares, or other non-standard securities, please contact us to discuss options. The securities must have been held for more than one year to qualify for the full fair-market-value deduction.

When a donor gives appreciated stock directly to a ministry, they avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation and receive a charitable deduction for the full fair-market value of the shares. This means more of the gift goes to ministry, and the donor keeps more of their wealth. It's one of the most tax-efficient forms of charitable giving available.
