Give now through the end of January 2023 and your gift will be doubled. Your gift will be matched dollar for dollar up to $250,000.00. Give a gift of $50 to sponsor a child’s Christmas and it will be doubled to $100 – a cottage sponsor’s gift of $600 becomes $1,200. What better gift to give a friend or business associate than to honor them with a gift that blesses a child. BCH notifies honorees with a card and sends a gift acknowledgment receipt to you.
Check with your employer. Some corporations will match an employee’s charitable gift, so the potential is that a $100 gift could get matched by their employer and then both could get matched by our year end challenge, making a $100 gift worth $400!
Consider a gift of appreciated stock or other property. When you give stock or property to BCH, we then sell it. By donating the stock or property directly to BCH, you eliminate the capital gains tax you would pay if you sell it. If you. have held the stock for more than one year, your gift will be deductible at its full market value on the date it is received. If you have a Donor Advised Fund this would
be a good time to make a difference by doubling its impact. IRA Charitable Rollover Gifts are a great gift option for someone 70 1/2 and older. If you have an IRA and have not taken your required minimum distribution, an IRA Charitable Rollover gift is a great way for you to change the life of a child through the ministry of BCH and potentially lower your income and taxes this year.
These are challenging times! Consider giving a little extra for those who wish they could give, but cannot this year. Thank you in advance for your investment in the life of a child.
