Appreciated Assets

Some assets may have grown in value during the time you owned them.  If you sell these assets, you will likely have a capital gains tax to pay.  If you gift these assets to our congregation, we can typically sell them with no tax consequence, allowing a larger portion of your asset to go to support our mission and ministry.

If you have owned stock longer than one year, own a home or apartment building,  own equipment that you have depreciated or have any valuable collectibles, you can gift ownership of these assets (or a portion of these assets if you do not desire to gift the entire value).  You will be eligible for a tax deduction and will typically bypass the capital gains tax due if you had sold the asset yourself.
