Seven Tax-Smart Ways to Make a Year-End Impact

As we approach the close of 2025, many friends of °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï reflect on ways to give back to causes close to their hearts. Your generosity not only strengthens °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï’s mission of preparing ministers but can also provide valuable tax benefits. Consider these seven practical and tax-wise ways to make a meaningful difference before December 31st.

Appreciated Stocks & Mutual Funds

Donating stocks or appreciated securities directly to °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï bypasses capital gains taxes and reduces your taxable income. Your donation also qualifies as a charitable deduction if you itemize charitable deductions. It’s a smart way to give without impacting your cash flow and can make a significant difference for °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï.

IRA Charitable Rollovers

If you are age 70½ or older, you can transfer up to $108,000 per individual as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï tax-free. This gift counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution and is excluded from your taxable income.

Charitable Gift Annuities

A Charitable Gift Annuity provides lifetime fixed payments for you and supports °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï’s mission. Enjoy dependable income, possible tax benefits, and the joy of investing in future ministers.

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)

Recommending a grant from your Donor-Advised Fund before year-end is an easy and flexible way to fulfill your charitable goals and help °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï train leaders for ministry.

Recurring Gifts

Setting up a recurring gift ensures steady support for °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï throughout the year is a powerful way to start the new year with purpose – providing steady resources for training ministers. It’s simple, budget-friendly, and deeply impactful.

Memorial or Honorary Gifts

During this holiday season, honor someone special or remember a loved one with a gift that advances °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï’s mission. These gifts are meaningful and qualify as a tax deduction.

One-Time Cash Gifts

A one-time gift by check, credit card, or online before December 31st is the simplest way to make an immediate impact. These gifts qualify for a current-year tax deduction - just ensure checks are postmarked by December 31st.

Your generosity today equips tomorrow’s ministers.

To ensure your gift counts for 2025, please act by December 31st. Contact Tim Keeton, Vice President for Development at trkeeton@nbc.edu or (719) 884-5091 for assistance.

Thank you for joining °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï in equipping leaders for a lifetime of ministry!

"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
