GIVING

2 Corinthians 9:6-8
"Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. ⁷Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. ⁸And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work."

Being a disciple of Jesus is willfully choosing to live a life of faith in God and in His Son, Jesus Christ. This is seen powerfully in what we choose to give God and how we choose to love Jesus' church. The following are different ways you are able to give to the cause of Christ.

GIVING STRATEGIES


	Automatic Withdrawal A service is now being provided for you to give using automatic withdrawal. This service helps families establish and maintain an existing budget. eGiving Most banks allow customers to pay bills online. You can set up a line item for WCC and distribute your faith promise weekly, monthly, etc. You can manually enter your amounts each time or establish a predetermined amount and automatically distribute funds on a certain day each week or month. Use the memo line to include your envelope number or other giving information or use eGiving for a one time donation...click here for more about eGiving. Gifts of Cash Dick Divine, Planned Giving Officer at Cincinnati Christian University writes, “The amount you choose to give in the form of a cash gift is determined by your ability to give and perhaps, by the related tax benefits. Gifts of cash can eliminate or reduce tax on up to 50% of your adjusted gross income. Making use of tax incentives provided by the federal and state governments can allow you to stretch your charitable gift.” Gifts of Securities Stocks, bonds and mutual funds are excellent options to consider. If you are holding securities that you have owned for more than one year, you can use them to fund a gift. Securities used for this purpose are deductible for income tax purposes at full market value in amounts up to 30% of your adjusted gross income. If these securities have increased in value during the time you owned them, you may also bypass the capital gains tax by transferring ownership directly to WCC. IRA Rollovers & Withdrawals Those over 70½ years of age can take advantage of current legislation that makes it possible to make tax-free charitable gifts from your IRA’s. Eligible donors may avoid income and estate taxes. Those over 59½ are allowed to withdraw funds from their retirement accounts without payment of any penalty for early withdrawal. Life Insurance Perhaps you own a life insurance policy of which some or all may no longer be required for its originally intended purpose. Such a policy would make an excellent gift. By making WCC the irrevocable owner and/or beneficiary, you may be entitled to an income tax deduction based on the value of the policy. Wills & Bequests The purpose of a will is two-fold: to allocate the things that God has blessed you with, and to direct who will continue to raise and care for your children. Being good stewards of our assets should motivate us to direct their allocation. Designating a portion to the church is one important way you can see that a portion of those assets continue to do God’s work after you are gone. Annuity This concept includes valuable tax benefits for donors. Perhaps more valuable than the financial advantages is the satisfaction donors gain by helping to continue our mission and good works. It is possible to give cash, securities or property to the church and receive income for a stated term or for life. Minimize Taxes A financial planner can advise on ways to reduce or eliminate the impact of income (personal and businesses). This includes inheritance and estate taxes through re-positioning assets or instituting estate planning strategies. Real Estate Gift Avoid capital gains tax on the sale of a home or other real estate. Donate or sell the property to WCC for immediate income tax deduction and avoidance of capital gains tax. By choosing to give WCC property that is paid off and appreciated in value, you can deduct the fair market value of your gift, avoid all capital gains taxes and remove that asset from your taxable estate. Education WCC will be offering classes like “Managing Our Finances Gods Way” by Walk Through The Bible and Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University. Additional resources will be available to assist you including Destroying Debt, Budgeting 101, College Planning, Long Term Care and Estate Planning.
