Marin Covenant Church makes it easy to give a financial asset such as stocks, bonds, ETFs, and mutual funds. 

​

There are two main reasons to donate an appreciated asset held over one year:

​

1. The donor avoids having to pay capital gains tax that would normally be required when an appreciated asset is sold. MCC sells the asset, not the donor.

2. The donor receives a tax deduction equal to the full market value of the appreciated asset at the time of donation.

​

Consult your tax advisor for the complete rules and the effect on your taxes of donating an asset to the church. 

​

To donate a financial asset:

3. Contact your broker to transfer the asset to MCC’s account.

4. MCC will send you a statement acknowledging your gift.
