List of 5 frequently asked questions.

  • Life Insurance gifts

    Donors who assign ownership of a life insurance policy to Lutheran North receive an immediate charitable deduction. If the donor continues to pay premiums, he or she receives an additional deduction. When ownership of a life insurance policy is transferred, gift credit will be given.

  • Gifts that Provide Income for Life

    Donors may arrange for a gift that will come to Lutheran North and retain income from the gift for life (or the lives of donor and spouse). This is an ideal way to provide for Lutheran North’s future without sacrificing investment income, while also receiving significant income, gift, and estate tax benefits.

  • Qualified Charitable Donations

    Donors over the age of 70½ can give up to $100,000 annually directly from their IRA to a charitable organization, such as Lutheran North, according to current IRS rules. This transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you still benefit even if you do not itemize your tax deductions. This is a way for donors to manage their Minimum Required Distributions (RMD’s) each year when those funds would otherwise create increased taxable income.

  • Real Estate Gifts

    A gift of real estate, such as commercial property, a residence, a farm, timberland, or undeveloped acreage, can provide significant benefits to Lutheran North and the donor. A gift of unmortgaged real estate held for more than one year will generate an income tax deduction based on fair market property value at the gift date. The donor is not required to recognize any gain on the transfer. For gifts of real estate valued at $5,000 or more, the donor must obtain a qualified appraisal.

  • Stock Gifts

    Gifts of appreciated securities held by the donor for more than one year provide two tax benefits:
    (1) no capital gains tax is imposed on the “long-term” appreciated gift portion, and
    (2) the donor is entitled to a charitable deduction equal to the fair market value of the securities on the gift date

    Stock transfer information is located here.
