Giving Options

Securities held for at least a year, which have increased in value since the time they were purchased, offer extra tax savings when used as a donation.

When you give a security directly to Crossworld, your charitable deduction is for the full fair market value of the security at the time of the transfer. You also avoid paying capital gains tax.

1. Instruct your broker to transfer your shares from your account to Crossworld. Here’s a sample stock transfer instruction letter.
   
   
2. Give this information to your broker:
   Brokerage Firm: First Clearing LLC
   Account Number: 6264-1229
   DTC Number: 0141
   Name on Account: Crossworld Gift Account
   EIN: 23-1352564
   
   
3. When shares are transferred, there is no way to identify who donated them or for what purpose. If you tell us about the transfer quickly, we can promptly acknowledge your gift and put it to work as soon as possible. Please send us this information when the transfer has been completed:
• the number of shares
• the name of the security
• the purpose of the gift
• your name and address
  
  
4. Send all of this required information to us by email at [email protected] or give us a call at 816.479.7300.

With the new tax laws, more and more donors like you are choosing to give toward Crossworld ministries using their Individual Retirement Account (IRA). By doing so, you can reduce your tax bill while supporting disciple-making among the least-reached.

If you are 70½ or older and don’t need your required minimum distribution, you can make a gift of up to $100,000 each year from your IRA. While you will not receive an income tax deduction, you will not pay taxes on any distributions made to us.

Contact your IRA administrator to get started with your gift, then follow these steps to ensure your gift gets to your preferred ministry without delay.

1. Make checks from your retirement account payable to Crossworld at 10000 N Oak Trafficway, Kansas City MO 64155.
   
   
2. Let us know about the distribution by contacting our Finance Department at [email protected] or 816.479.7300. Often there is no donor name or designation included with checks sent directly from a retirement plan. Help us process your gift quickly and correctly with a notice of the incoming gift. For example, “Please expect a $2,000 check from XYZ retirement fund in the next few weeks. It’s for the ministry of John and Jane Smith.”
   
   
3. If possible, have your IRA plan administrator include the same information with the check.
