DONATE STOCK

Have you considered using stock with long term gains as a gift to Lutheran Partners? By donating stock you typically get a deduction for the fair-market value of your gift and avoid having to pay capital gains tax on the increased value of the shares over the years. Giving appreciated property instead of cash can reduce the “cost” of the gift. By avoiding capital gains taxes on a gift of appreciated property and by realizing an income tax deduction for the gift, your “out of pocket” cost for making the gift will be greatly reduced.

We do not give tax advice and strongly suggest that you contact your tax or financial advisor. You can deduct charitable gifts only if you itemize your deductions and you have held the securities at least one year. If we can assist in this process, please contact the LPGM office at 612-823-5058 or e-mail at: office@lutheranpartners.org.

If you have included or are planning to include LPGM in your will or estate plans, please notify us for our records.
