Strategic Generosity
GIVING STOCK
Giving stock to VBC is easy and may provide you with a double tax benefit, with an income tax deduction and the potential to completely avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation of assets (including mutual funds, crypto, and real estate). This strategy allows you to give up to 20% more at no additional cost.
GIVING FROM YOUR IRA
Giving from your IRA may avoid significant taxes if you are 70½ or older. A Qualified Charitable Distribution is often the single most tax-efficient way to give. If you are 73 or older, this gift counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution, satisfying the law without increasing your taxable income.
LEGACY GIVING
When you include Village in your estate plan, you can maximize giving potential and fund Kingdom work for generations to come. Our estate planning ministry partner will guide you through your options thoughtfully, confidentially, and at no cost to you. Sign up for our next workshop here.
EMPLOYER-SPONSORED DONATIONS
Many companies will match donations their employees make. Check with your employer to see if they will match your gift to Village. Some companies that do not match general "church" funds will match donations designated for community services, such as our benevolence fund.
AUTOMATE THE IMPORTANT
If consistent giving is important, consider automating it by setting up recurring giving on our website or app.
GIVING FUNG
A Giving Fund (Donor-Advised Fund) allows you to set aside money or give non-cash assets for future charitable giving, while receiving immediate tax benefits. A giving fund also makes other strategies, such as bunching and charitable gain harvesting, easier.
CHARITABLE BUNCHING
Charitable Bunching involves grouping several years' worth of donations into a single year to exceed the standard deduction threshold, thereby allowing you to itemize deductions in that year and take the standard deduction in others, and then utilizing a giving fund to spread the actual donations over the years.
CHARITABLE GAIN HARVESTING
Charitable Gain Harvesting is a tax-efficiency strategy that allows you to manage your portfolio’s health while maximizing the impact of your donations. Instead of giving cash, you donate your most successful ("appreciated") assets and immediately use your cash to repurchase them, resetting your tax basis and cleaning your portfolio of future capital gains.
BUSINESS LEGACY
For many business owners, the ultimate measure of success isn't the size of their personal bank account, but the scale of the impact they leave behind. Strategic Generosity is a governance model that transforms a company from a private asset into a perpetual engine for Kingdom impact.
INVESTING TO MAXIMIZE YOUR ETERNAL RETURNS
We strive to be good stewards of all the resources entrusted to us, from buildings to office supplies, and from local pastors to foreign missionaries. We want to be found faithful in all we are called to do, whether the task is small or large. This extends to how we use your contributed dollars. If Village is not seen as a "good investment" for the funds God has entrusted to you, those funds should be invested in a more worthy kingdom ministry.
We, however, think Village is an excellent "investment." At the heart of our mission statement is a commitment to spread and to multiply the grace given to us by extending it to others. To that end, we work hard to be copper-plated conduits of God's grace to those both near and far, and to avoid any sense of gold-plating when so many are perishing around us. This call to a wartime lifestyle (a lifestyle that maximizes all you are and all you have for the sake of finishing the great commission) and all it entails drives our stewardship of "your" money.
WHAT YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS SUPPORT
Your contributions to our One Fund are used to support the church's operating & ministry expenses and missionary support. Ministry & Operating categories include support for Pastors & Staff, Building & Property, Family Discipleship, Adult Ministries, Worship & Music, and Office. Evangelism & Missions categories include funding for World Missions, Neighborhood Outreach, Campus Outreach, and Church Planting.
AUTOMATE WHAT'S IMPORTANT
We encourage you to consider setting up your giving as an automated recurring gift – automating what is important. Here are two reasons people choose to automate their giving.
- First Fruits: In Proverbs 3:9 we are taught to honor the Lord with the "First Fruits" of our labor. By setting up a recurring contribution that is scheduled to come out of your account on the day you specify you can ensure that your First Fruits are given back to God.
- Simplicity: You will not need to remember if you gave this month or send in your offering checks when you are out of town
DESIGNATED GIVING
In order to maintain the tax-deductible status of your gift, gift designation preferences cannot be guaranteed. However, we will work hard to use your funds as designated and have never knowingly not applied a contribution as designated. For mission trips, if the person you designate your gift for exceeds their financial need, the funds will be used for others on their trip who are short of funds or for others on another mission trip.
Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches, and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. - Luke 12:32-34
