NEW WAYS TO GIVE

Giving appreciated assets before they are sold can be a powerful and tax-smart way to give.

Less to taxes… more impact for the Kingdom.

You may be able to donate a variety of appreciated assets, including:
-Stocks
-Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
-Mutual Funds Bonds
-Cryptocurrencies
-Privately Held Stock
-Real Estate
-Gold or Silver
-Life Insurance

Are often a simpler, more cost-effective alternative to setting up a private family foundation offering immediate tax deductions while giving you time to prayerfully decide how and when to support Potter’s House—now and in the future.

Some donors use DAFs for a “bunching” strategy—combining multiple years of charitable giving in one year to maximize tax benefits while still using the standard deduction in others.

If you’re age 70½ or older, you can make a gift directly from your IRA to Potter’s House—and the distribution won’t count as taxable income.

For those who are required to take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), a QCD is a smart, tax-efficient way to give while also satisfying IRS requirements. In 2025, donors may give up to $108,000 per person from their IRA.
‍
‍Note: QCDs are not available from 401(k) accounts, but rolling a 401(k) into an IRA may make this option available to you.

Allows you to receive a steady income for life—while leaving a meaningful gift to Potter’s House after your passing. CGAs are a tax-efficient giving option for those age 65 and older, with gifts starting at $10,000, and up to $54,000 per person (2025 limit). They are often a simpler and more affordable alternative to Charitable Remainder Trusts.

A newer provision (established in 2022) also allows donors age 70½ or older to make a one-time gift from their IRA to fund a CGA - up to $54,000 and count it toward their Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).
‍
‍Note: This option is not available for 401(k)s unless they are rolled over into an IRA.

Is very versatile and could be used in a number of ways - like donating life insurance that may not be needed anymore and receiving a tax deduction for the cash value.....or making a significant gift to Potters House now and replacing the asset with life insurance to provide for your family later.....or naming Potters House as a beneficiary of the policy to support the ministry later.

If the Lord leads you, naming Potter’s House as a beneficiary in your will, trust, or life insurance policy is a simple and meaningful way to leave a lasting Kingdom impact.

One especially tax-efficient option is to name Potter’s House as a beneficiary of your IRA. Because the ministry is tax-exempt, we can receive the full value of your gift—whereas family members may owe income tax on traditional IRA or 401(k) distributions.

What is the right gift for me?

For all of your giving strategies, we encourage you to consult with your trusted financial, tax, or estate advisor to make the most of your giving plans. Also, the recently signed "One Big Beautiful Bill" (OBBB) may impact charitable giving plans. Some provisions in the bill may make giving in 2025 more tax efficient than 2026. Be sure to consult with your trusted advisor about this as well.
