donor-advised funds

A donor-advised fund is an easy, flexible and tax-efficient way to give to Faith Lutheran Church with one donation. You create a charitable account that is professionally managed and administered by the ELCA Ministry Growth Fund while providing input on its distributions to ministries and organizations.

With a donor-advised fund, you can:

• Take an immediate tax deduction, depending on the type of donation you make
  Donations of cash are eligible for income tax deduction up to 60% of Adjusted Gross Income
  Donations of securities and other appreciated assets are eligible for income tax deduction up to 30% of Adjusted Gross Income

• Avoid capital-gains tax on gifts of appreciated assets, such as securities or real estate

• Invest and grow your donation, tax-free, making even more money available for charitable purposes

$10,000 minimum amount to start a donor-advised fund.
