Planned Giving: Individuals may support the CEC through bequests and other planned gifts. For more information, please click here. 

RMD (Required Minimum Distributions): Congress made permanent the law enabling individuals over age 70½ to exclude up to $100,000 of their required minimum distribution from income if the RMD is made payable directly to a qualified public charity. This strategy provides the greatest charitable tax benefit as it excludes the total value of the gift from annual income which is taxed as ordinary income.

Appreciated investments (stocks, bonds, or mutual funds): Giving appreciated investments directly to the charity as opposed to selling the property, can reduce the exposure to capital gains tax at a normal rate of 15%, and for higher income earners, potentially an additional savings of 3.8% net investment income tax.  Through this strategy, as opposed to gifting cash, the individual making the gift will  receive an income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the property or investment. The charity can then sell the property and pay no capital gain tax because it is a tax-exempt entity. It is critical that the appreciated property qualify as long-term capital gain property (i.e., the property should be held for more than one year prior to the time it is gifted).

Memorial Gifts: If you wish to honor the memory of a family member or friend by making a contribution to the Center for Evangelical Catholicism, please write us at the above address and include the name of the individual you are honoring. Please state the designation of the gift, if you wish. We will contact the family to let them know a donation has been made.
