MATCHING GIFTS
Some businesses may match their employee donations to I.R.S. recognized tax exempt organizations. Ask your HR, Payroll, or Matching Gift department if this benefit is available.

PERSONAL PROPERTY & REAL ESTATE
You may be able to deduct the full fair market value while incurring no tax on the inherent gain.
LEGACY GIVING
One way you can leave a legacy is by giving some of the assets you leave behind when you die to the church. This can be done rather easily by including the church as a beneficiary on life insurance policies, retirement accounts, and/or other financial accounts that allow beneficiary designations. You could also consider including the church as a beneficiary in your will or trust.
GIFT ANNUITIES
A charitable gift annuity will provide the donor an immediate tax deduction on irrevocable gifts to Rolling Hills Community Church, the donor will also receive fixed income payments from their gift for the remainder of their life. At the end of the donor’s life the church will receive the balance of the invested funds.
CRYPTOCURRENCY
Cryptocurrency is treated as property by the IRS, making it advantageous to donate appreciated amounts. You should get a deduction for the fair market value of your donation without having to pay tax on the gain. Please click this link if you want to donate cryptocurrency.
