Many Ways to Give
Charitable Gifts of Stock
Giving the gift of appreciated stock that has been held at least one year is a great way of blessing our home repair work while giving you, the donor, a wonderful and impactful gift. If your stock has a basis of $500, but has appreciated to $1,000, you will owe capital gains tax on the $500 increase in value. In contrast, if you gift the stock to Good Neighbors (or any other non-profit), the capital gains tax is avoided and the entire amount of $1,000 is a tax-deductible gift.
The procedure is as simple as giving your broker the following information to transfer the shares that you desire to give.

Required Minimum Distribution
If you are over 72 with an IRA, you know that you must take a Required Minimum Distribution. Did you also know that you can designate some of those funds to a nonprofit, which will reduce your taxable income dollar for dollar? This is especially beneficial if you don’t itemize but could be beneficial even if you do. Consider contacting your financial advisor to see if this would help reduce your taxes next year.

Good Neighbors is a compassionate ministry that understands and strives to serve others," said Michelle Fischer, Director of Marketing and Communications, Covenant Wealth Strategies. "We recognize the work Good Neighbors has done in our community and we know they are a competent and reliable organization that will provide the repairs needed so homeowners will have a safe, dry, warm place to live. Their model of working with volunteers means that they are very efficient and are able to do more repairs per dollar than most other organizations," shared Marcus Henry, General Manager of the Department of Community Services for New Castle County. |
The leadership and service opportunities that Good Neighbors generate, motivates us to continue serving our community. It is a great blessing for Willowdale Chapel to have a partner who promotes the values of the Kingdom of God and allows our volunteers to grow as disciples in their faith and good works," Would you join the hundreds of other donors who provide help to those in need in our neighborhoods? Your gift today can make sure some child is warm or an elderly woman is safe in their own homes. Thank you for your generosity.
