Unique Ways to Give to Bible2School

What is a Donor-Advised Fund?
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account you establish through a financial institution or community foundation. You contribute cash or appreciated assets (such as stocks), receive an immediate charitable tax deduction, and then recommend grants to charities — like Bible2School — over time.

Why do many donors choose a DAF instead of giving assets directly?
A DAF offers several advantages:

• You can take a tax deduction in the year you contribute — even if you give the funds to charities gradually
• You can donate appreciated assets and potentially avoid capital gains taxes
• Funds in the DAF can often be invested and grow tax-free for future giving
• It simplifies record-keeping by consolidating donations in one place
• It provides flexibility to support multiple ministries and causes over time

How do I start a DAF if I don’t have one?
Many banks, investment firms, and community foundations offer Donor-Advised Funds. Bible2School also has a working relationship with the National Christian Foundation (NCF) and often recommends them as a Christ-centered option for establishing a DAF. However, donors are not limited to NCF and are welcome to work with any DAF provider of their choice.

Once your DAF is established and funded, you can begin recommending grants right away.

How do I give to Bible2School through my DAF?
If you already have a DAF, simply log into your account, search for Bible2School, and submit a grant recommendation.

What is a Qualified Charitable Distribution?
A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) allows individuals age 70½ or older to give directly from their Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to a qualified nonprofit like Bible2School. Instead of withdrawing the funds personally, the gift is sent straight from your IRA to the ministry.

How does a QCD work with Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)?
Once you reach the age when RMDs are required (currently age 73 for most individuals), a QCD can count toward satisfying all or part of your annual RMD — while supporting a charitable cause you care about.

Why do many donors choose a QCD?

• May reduce taxable income by excluding the distribution from income
• Helps fulfill Required Minimum Distributions
• Provides a simple way to make a meaningful gift
• Allows you to support Bible2School directly from retirement assets

How do I make a QCD to Bible2School?
Contact your IRA custodian and request a Qualified Charitable Distribution to Bible2School. They will provide the necessary form or process to complete the transfer.

Many supporters choose to give through stocks, securities, or mutual funds rather than cash. Donating appreciated assets can be a powerful way to give — often allowing you to avoid capital gains taxes while receiving a charitable income tax deduction for the full market value of your gift (when held longer than one year).

You can make an impact today by gifting appreciated assets now, or extend your legacy by naming Bible2School as a beneficiary — helping reduce potential estate and inheritance taxes while maximizing the impact of your generosity.

Donating a vehicle is a simple way to support Bible2School while making a meaningful impact in the lives of children. Your gift of a car, truck, or other vehicle can help advance our mission and may provide you with valuable tax benefits.

Gifts of real estate — including homes, land, or commercial property — can be a meaningful way to support the work of Bible2School. Donating property may allow you to make a significant impact for children while also receiving potential tax benefits.
