Stock Donations
The gift of an asset, often common stock or mutual fund
shares, is a valuable way to make a contribution to a
church. There are great tax saving benefits by giving
stock as a charitable gift. It allows you to get the tax
deduction of the whole stock gift without paying tax on
it. You receive tax benefits based on the value of the
asset(s).
If you would like to donate Stock, please contact Paula
Brown (pbrown@shlc.org)
in the Church Office to get account information for the
broker used by Sammamish Hills Lutheran Church. At the
time you call, please be prepared to tell us:
-
the number of shares you plan to donate
-
what company the shares are for and
-
what fund you would like the proceeds to go to
The donor will receive a receipt from Sammamish Hills
Luther Church that states how many shares were given,
the company stock name, and the date the stock was given
- not $ amount). The donor should receive a receipt from
the stock transfer transaction that will list the
transfer value of the stock. Since the value of the
stock may change between the time of transfer and the
time it is sold, the IRS does not want the church to try
to state the dollar amount value of the stock gift on
our receipt to the donor.
Donating stock is a noncash charitable contribution and
is subject to certain IRS reporting requirements. A
donor who gives publicly traded stock valued at more
than $500 must complete Section A, Part 1, of IRS Form
8283 (Non-cash Charitable Contributions). Please feel
free to call the office if you have any questions.
