– 1 Corinthians 9:10
For those who itemize their deductions on their taxes:
Stocks and mutual funds held in a taxable brokerage account can be donated directly to Mars Hill. This avoids any taxes due on the liquidation inside the account, while allowing a tax deductible donation for the current value.
Other tax deductible giving strategies include Donor Advised Funds and Trusts.
For those who do not itemize their deductions on their taxes:
Retired supporters of Mars Hill with Traditional IRA’s can use a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) to contribute directly to this ministry. A QCD has no taxes withheld, potentially increasing the amount to be used for the Lord’s work, and not increasing taxable income for the donor.
We believe that all Christians are called first to support their local church. Therefore, we ask that you give to the Mars Hill Network only after you have fulfilled your biblical responsibility to your church. In addition to pledging as a yearly “Friend” of the Mars Hill Network, we would like to share the following investment giving opportunities.
