Giving Appreciated Assets

A gift of an appreciated asset is a smart and effective way to avoid unnecessary taxes. Whether you’re gifting stocks, mutual funds, business interest or real estate, Focus on the Family can help you reduce tax liabilities in favor of supporting ministry, while still providing for your financial needs.

A charitable gift before the sale of an appreciated asset allows you to:

  • Receive a charitable deduction on the asset you give
  • Avoid capital gains tax on the appreciated portion gifted to charity
  • Give more to charity to make a greater impact
Focus on the Family’s Planned Giving team is here to help you learn more about this smart way to give.
