Participate – Your Decision to Give

Jesus is transforming us, so that together we can transform others. In order to successfully and smoothly implement our renovation and new construction program, we need to have pledges covering the period of construction (2015 to 2017). We also realistically expect to use some of the credit extended to us in our construction loan. Full payment on this is required by 2022 Pledges for the building period and extending into the loan repayment period will give us the assurance that the funds will be available as they are required.

Other Services Provided by the National Christian Foundation
1. Stocks/Mutual Funds
Assets are transferred to a National Christian Foundation account and liquidated. This enables the full value of the stock or mutual fund shares to be used for Kingdom Giving. The giver may deduct the full value of the stock from their taxes and there are no capital gains tax implications.
2. Real-estate
Full or partial interest in appreciated real estate holdings may be assign to the National Christian Foundation. A five step process is followed to liquidate the property – Exploration; Custom Illustration; Due Diligence; Closing; Giving. This can provide substantial tax benefits.
3. Business Interests
National Christian Foundation’s Charitable Shareholder strategy allows a business owner to donate a non-voting interest and receive a substantial tax deduction while still maintaining management oversight.
