In the spirit of stewardship of the gifts that God has entrusted to us, we encourage you to thoughtfully consider the advantages of making a gift of appreciated securities such as stocks, mutual funds, or ETFs, to Grace Church. For many people, this option may be more economical than gifts of cash. In general, when you give appreciated securities to a charitable organization, you may deduct the fair market value of the securities at the time of the gift, up to certain limits, and you avoid tax on any capital gain. Please consult your financial advisor to see if this is a good option for you.
If you would like to give securities to Grace Church, please complete the Donation of Securities form and send it to finance@gracewaynesville.com or drop it by the office. Once we have reviewed your completed form, we will provide transfer instructions. Please do not instruct your financial advisor to proceed until we have reviewed your form. Please note, gifts of mutual funds require additional time for review, and certain mutual funds may not be able to be accepted.
Our policy is to immediately sell all gifts of securities. We will use the proceeds as indicated on the completed Donation of Securities form.
