¿Qué es un Miembro del Legado?
¿Qué pasaría si pudieras hacer algo ahora que impactaría a otros por la eternidad?
Tenemos la oportunidad de impactar a otros todos los días. A menudo es tan simple como pedirle a Dios que nos muestre maneras de hacer una diferencia para Él mientras nos allistamos por la mañana. Pero también incluye los planes que hacemos ahora que influirán en otros durante muchos años por venir.
Al unirte al Ministerio Josh McDowell como Miembro del legado, ayudará a continuar la obra de Dios en todo el mundo a través de una donación incluida en tu testamento, fideicomiso o planes patrimoniales. También dejarás un legado que durará mucho más que tu tiempo en esta tierra e impactará a otros en las generaciones venideras.

Using Your Assets, Business Interests, Stock and Securities for the Kingdom
You can invest in future generations while you’re still here.
Do you own stock, bonds, mutual funds or other market securities which have greatly appreciated in value since their purchase? Or how about land, rental property, real estate or a business?
These assets are usually subject to long term capital gains tax when sold. And that tax can range from 15 to 23.8 percent. Add state tax and depreciation recapture, and the rate could go as high as 30 to 40 percent.
But did you know that by donating an appreciated asset (all or part) to Josh McDowell Ministry prior to sale, you bypass the capital gains tax? And you still receive a tax deduction on the value of the donation. Funds can be distributed to the ministry immediately. Or you can set up a Donor Advised Fund and distribute the funds over time. It’s your choice.
Appreciated assets are expensive to sell. But because of the preferred tax treatment, they are ideal for charitable donations! This can dramatically reduce the cost of making a charitable gift or increase the amount you can afford to give.
For a more complete introduction to Gifts of Appreciated Assets or Gifts of Stock, click on one of the giving guides at the right, and it will provide you with a printer-ready explanation sheet to read and share with others.
To arrange an immediate gift of stock or other assets, you may call our office at 1-855-833-6897.
Ensuring Your Future and Investing in the Kingdom
Are you looking for a secure source of fixed income now or for your future? You may be tired of living at the mercy of the fluctuating stock and real estate markets. One solution is a charitable gift annuity.
How it works:
- Donate $20,000 or more in cash, stock or mutual funds to Josh McDowell Ministry through our partner organization, the Great Commission Foundation (a ministry of Cru/Campus Crusade for Christ).
- You (or someone of your choosing) receive a fixed income for life. The rate is based on the age of the income recipient.
- A portion of your income stream may even be tax free. You will receive a charitable deduction for your gift and the satisfaction of advancing the cause of Christ through Josh McDowell Ministry.
- A portion of your income stream may even be tax free. You will receive a charitable deduction for your gift and the satisfaction of advancing the cause of Christ through Josh McDowell Ministry.
- Josh McDowell Ministry receives the remainder of your donation to fund ministry endeavors.
- Available to anyone 65 years old and older.
Possible uses for a Charitable Gift Annuity:
- Provide you and your spouse income for life at a rate which is significantly higher than other “safe” investments.
- Provide for your aging parents and honor them at their death with a gift to Josh McDowell Ministry.
- Plan for retirement by giving a gift now to Josh McDowell Ministry and deferring the income until your retirement.
Start Receiving Payments Now with a Current Gift Annuity:
If you desire current income, you may transfer property in exchange for our promise to pay you a fixed income beginning as early as this year. You will receive a current income tax charitable deduction for the value of your gift to the ministry.
Deferred Gift Annuity for Income at Future Date:
Perhaps you are not ready to begin receiving income until a future date, such as when you retire. You can establish a deferred gift annuity, receive a current charitable income tax deduction and receive payments at a designated future time. Best of all, because you deferred your payments, your annual payment will be higher than with a current annuity. Email us or call us at 1-855-833-6897 about flexible date options for your future income.
Reinversión Caritativa del IRA
On December 18, 2015 the House and Senate approved the “Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015,” and the President signed the legislation into law. This retroactively reinstates the IRA Charitable Rollover provision originally enacted into law in 2006 for all of 2015 and remove any expiration date on the provision, thereby permanently extending the Rollover into the future.
The bill allows donors age 70½ and older to transfer up to $100,000 directly from their IRA to a qualified public charity. The transfer will be made free of federal income tax and the gift qualifies for the donor’s 2015 required minimum distribution (RMD).
Because it often takes IRA custodians several weeks to process rollover transactions, we recommend that you contact your custodian in plenty of time and notify him or her of your intentions if you’d like to make a rollover gift this year.
Here is a PDF form that, upon completion, can be delivered to your IRA custodian so he or she can prepare the check payable to Cru FBO Josh McDowell Ministry. We also recommend that you mail or fax a copy of this form to Cru so they can match it up with the check when it is received.
