Giving Fund Example
Mark and Debbie Krueger were looking to simplify their giving.
They opened a Giving Fund with Christian Financial Resources using $10,000 in appreciated stocks, $4,000 in private equity, and $1,000 in cash. They received an immediate tax deduction when they opened their account. While the funds were invested, they earned an additional $525 in interest. The Kruegers chose to support multiple ministries and missionaries with several gifts throughout the year. CFR distributed those gifts on the Kruegers’ behalf at the specified times. At the end of the year, Mark and Debbie received one donation summary for their Giving Fund.
Technology has changed. Your giving should, too.
You can give more than cash to support the ministries you love. When you create a Giving Fund, be sure to consider giving from appreciated assets like stocks or real property. Watch this detailed video with our CEO Darren Key to learn how it works.
