Your giving doesn't have to be Traditional.

Donating cash, checks or stocks is one of the simplest ways to make a gift.  Yet, donating appreciated, non-liquid assets - such as real estate, business interests and artwork- is a tax-smart and innovative way to give.

The Presbyterian Foundation can receive, manage and liquidate these types of assets.  We can take care of the administrative details of selling the assets for you - relieving you of this burden.  You have several choices for the net proceeds. An appealing option is to open a Creative Gift Fund which provides the greatest flexibility for you to recommend grants to your favorite mission or ministries.

Innovative gifts using non-liquid assets usually provide you with a far greater tax deduction than if you had sold the asset first and then donated the proceeds to charity. You can plan a gift during your lifetime or make plans for after your death.

The Foundation can accept most any type of asset, such as:

Real Estate - includes, land, personal residence or vacation homes, farmland or other properties.

Business interests - includes ownership in closely-held businesses, Limited Partnerships, Limited Liability Companies, or Sub-chapter S corporations.

Restricted securities - includes publicly traded securities that may have sale restrictions.

Life insurance policies - includes policies such as term, whole, universal or variable.

Personal property - includes royalties, copyrights, artwork or precious metals.
