The 29th chapter in the book of Jeremiah reminds us of God’s faithfulness to a people in exile. In a similar manner, the faithfulness of our monthly supporters (29:11 Club), reminds us of your faithful partnership in the ministry and work we are called to do.
We are truly humbled by the commitment of individuals and households standing with us in this covenantal relationship.

The option to donate long term stocks (stock that have been owned for more than a year) to a non-profit can benefit donors by eliminating capital gains on the appreciated stock. When Anchor of Hope (AOH) receives donated stock, the organization has the opportunity to either sell the stock immediately or to hold it for a brief period of time before selling. In both situations, AOH does not pay any tax on the appreciated value.
The organization’s finance policy recommends the sale of stocks upon receipt and we work closely with a registered investment advisor to best manage stock donations.

If you are 70 ½ or older, have an IRA, and make charitable contributions this strategy may be for you.
Under our current tax system, the standard deduction is very high, so most people do not get a tax deduction for charitable contributions. In 2020 and 2021 there is a charitable contribution deduction for people who do not itemize of $300 and $600 respectively. So, what about the rest of your contributions?
If you have an IRA and a required minimum distribution (starting at age 72) then you can have your IRA make the contribution directly to your charity. The effect of this is that the amount that you give to charity thru an IRA reduces the amount of your required minimum distribution that is taxable. Then you still get the full standard deduction, and you reduce your taxable income by charitable deductions made by your IRA.
Requirements:
Please talk with your financial advisor to see if this strategy may work for you.
