By donating appreciated securities, the capital gains taxes saved could mean more for ministry, and you can claim the value of the donation as a charitable deduction for 2026. Especially now, with current market valuations, donating stock and other non-cash assets is a great way to increase your support for the causes close to your heart.

Real Estate Giving<\/strong>

Many real estate investors have a heart to give charitably but feel hindered by their limited cash flow and growing taxation of their investments. Our team at the National Christian Foundation (NCF) has a solution which allows you to give interests in appreciated real estate (commercial, residential, or undeveloped property).
