Non-Cash Asset Donations
Donating appreciated assets instead of cash can significantly increase your charitable impact while providing substantial tax benefits. From stocks and real estate to business interests and personal property, asset donations help you avoid capital gains taxes while maximizing your Kingdom investment.
Why Give Assets Instead of Cash?
The Hidden Opportunity
Cash makes up only 7% of total wealth — however 85% of charitable gifts given are cash. With over 93% of wealth held in assets other than cash, giving stocks, real estate, and other non-cash assets hold immense potential for charitable impact.
Avoid Capital Gains Taxes
When you donate appreciated assets held for more than one year, you avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation while receiving a full fair market value deduction (up to AGI limits). This means more money goes to charity than if you sold the assets and donated cash.
Example Impact
$10,000 stock that cost $2,000:
- Sell and donate cash: $8,400 to charity (after capital gains taxes)
- Donate stock directly: $10,000 to charity
- Result: $1,600 more for DOVE's global ministry
