Donating Non-Cash Gifts (i.e. stock or mutual funds):

If you wish to donate eligible appreciated securities to Alliance Church in order to receive an allowable donation for the full market value and avoid capital gains, please complete this document, send a copy to your broker to authorize the transfer, and send a copy to Alliance Church (Attn: Finance Office) advising us of the transaction.

Donating from your Retirement Account:

If you are 70 1/2 or older, you can give a portion of your IRA Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) directly to Alliance Church as a Qualified Charitable Deduction (QCD). Your QCD donation will not be taxed when it is sent directly to a charity. You can start this process by contacting your broker, mutual fund company, or financial advisor. Please feel free to contact the Finance Office at Alliance Church at [email protected] if you would like to discuss this further. (Please note: recent tax law changes have affected IRA RMDs. For those that reach age 70 ½ in 2020 or later, you must take your first RMD by April 1 of the year after you reach age 72).

Donor-Advised Funds:

One of the fastest-growing investment tools for charitable giving, donor-advised funds (DAFs) are like your own private foundation, but without any of the administrative red tape. They can be used to manage charitable donations on behalf of families or individuals. Alliance Church has partnered with Orchard Alliance, an organization affiliated with the Christian Missionary & Alliance denomination. Orchard Alliance has the expertise available to help you establish a DAF.

Other Gifts:

Alliance Church would like to talk to you about other gift ideas that you have. Please feel free to contact the Finance Office to discuss other options that may not be listed here.
