Non-Cash Giving

Stocks, Mutual Funds and Other Securities

Giving appreciated stocks and mutual funds is a great way to maximize your giving because you are eligible for an immediate tax deduction for the full fair market value of the securities you transfer and you pay no capital gains tax on the appreciation in value like you would if you sold the securities and gave cash. Please talk with your financial advisor or tax preparer to review your situation and see if this would be an appropriate way for you to give.

How to Give Stocks or Other Securities

• Please contact a member of our Finance Team to notify us of the gift. We’ll need the following information:
  • Where the shares are held
  • The name(s) of the contributor(s)
  • The security’s name and ticker symbol
  • The number of shares
• We will provide you with the information you need to get your gift transferred to Fellowship’s brokerage account.

If you have any questions about the process or have a unique situation, please email us at finance@fellowshipar.com or call us at (501) 224-7171 and ask to speak to a member of our Finance Team.

Life Insurance Policies – You can name Fellowship Bible Church of Little Rock as a beneficiary on your life insurance policy. Another option is to make Fellowship the owner of a life insurance policy that is no longer needed to provide benefits for your family. When Fellowship is made the owner, you may be eligible for a tax benefit for the amount of premiums you continue to pay each year. If your policy is a whole life policy, you may receive an immediate tax deduction for the cash value of the policy. Consult with your financial advisor to find out if this makes sense for you and your family.
