There is a joy in knowing that you have helped ensure the financial future of charitable causes you feel are important.

Bonds, Funds & Stocks

Friends, supporters and professional advisors have long utilized the benefits of making charitable gifts of appreciated securities to support the work and ministries of churches within their communities. Making a gift to Christ's Love Ministries of appreciated stock, bonds or mutual funds has never been easier.

Benefits to You

Since Christ's Love Ministries is a recognized 501c-3 not-for-profit organization, there are numerous benefits to making your gift of stocks, bonds or mutual funds. For instance, if you have owned the stocks, bonds or mutual funds for more than one year, you can claim an immediate charitable income tax deduction for the fair market value up to 30% of your adjusted gross income in the year you make the gift. Any unused deduction amounts may be used to help reduce taxes in up to five upcoming tax years.

By giving appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds you also bypass the capital gain that would normally be taxable if you were to sell. These types of gifts allow you to use "paper profits" to help offset and reduce your federal and state taxes. Appreciated securities are also ideal for establishing charitable income-producing gifts and charitable trusts.

Charitable Gift Annuities

Creating a Charitable Gift Annuity

By creating a charitable gift annuity, you ensure support for causes you care about while creating a secure source of income over time. A charitable gift annuity is created by donating cash or securities to Christ's Love Ministries in exchange for routine payments. These payments may be received by the donor monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually. Payments can be received throughout the course of your life, or over the course of two lifetimes if you wish for a second person to share your benefit.

Benefits to You

In addition to helping our many causes, your contributed charitable gift annuity offers other great benefits. Since Christ's Love Ministries is a recognized 501c-3 non-profit organization, you will be eligible to receive a charitable income tax deduction for your gift for its fair market value in the year you make the gift. Any unused deduction amounts may be used to help reduce taxes in up to five upcoming tax years. Your donation may also help you receive capital gains savings. Whatever the form of your gift, you will receive a partially tax-free return of your principle and fixed payments for life.

Wills

Planning Your Will

In addition to being a convenient way to distribute your estate, a will is one of the most important documents you will execute during your life. A will can be a personal expression through which you provide for those people and institutions that are important to you. A will is your final message that reflects your personal values and leaves a lasting legacy by which your family and community will remember you.

Legal documents such as wills should always be prepared by attorneys. You will find different rules in every state for execution of a Will. However, the following are typical requirements in making a Will:

The Will should be in writing and signed at the end by the person executing the Will, called a testator (man) or testatrix (woman). The testator or testatrix must sign the Will in the presence of two or three disinterested witnesses.
The testator or testatrix must have each witness sign his name affirming that the Will was signed by the testator (ix) and acknowledged, as a last Will and testament.
The person executing the Will must be considered mentally competent when the Will is executed.
