2021 Stock Gift

More information on stock gifts

Your gift to the Colson Center of appreciated stock, or, if you are age 72 or older (as recently determined by the IRS), a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA, will help equip more believers with a Christian worldview—and it may reduce your 2020 taxes.

By donating appreciated securities that you’ve held for at least a year and a day, you’re able to deduct the full market value of the stock on the date of transfer and avoid paying capital gains tax on the amount of the appreciation.

If you are age 72 or older and have an IRA, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) can reduce the taxes on your IRA distribution. A financial or tax advisor can verify that your IRA qualifies.

To reduce taxes, you must complete your gift by December 31, 2020.

The Colson Center recommends that you consult a qualified tax or financial advisor concerning any transaction you might make.

To make a stock gift to the Colson Center,  call Lynn Damewood at 719-602-6164.

Thank you for your prayers and your support to help the Colson Center equip Christians to live with clarity, confidence and courage in this cultural moment.
