Change Lives Through Giving
Change lives by making a gift to Myers Park Presbyterian. Through Christ, we can have a priceless impact on this church, our city and our world. Here are some suggested ways to give:
Cash
Gifts of cash are fully deductible – up to half of your adjusted gross income. To qualify as a 2008 contribution, your gift must be postmarked by Dec.31 or hand-delivered to the business office prior to close of business on that day.
Stock
A gift of appreciated stock generally offers a two-fold tax savings: you avoid paying capital gains tax on the increase in stock value and you receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the stock when it is donated. For additional information regarding this gift option, call Susan Nelson, Foundation for the
Carolinas, at 704.973.4505. Please be certain to state the gift is for Myers Park Presbyterian Church and copy the business office on written instructions.
IRA Distribution
If you are over 70 ˝ years old, you also may contribute a tax-free distribution from your IRA account up to $100,000. This amount will be excluded from your income and will count toward the minimum required distribution you must take annually. The distribution must be made by the IRA trustee directly. Distributions from SEP’s and SIMPLE plans are not eligible.
We urge you to discuss tax planning with your accountant or other professional advisor. Thank you for your generous support of Myers Park Presbyterian Church.
