Contributions of Stock

Donating stock that has appreciated in value may provide potential tax benefits. When you give appreciated stock -- rather than just cash -- to 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organizations like Bethlehem and other churches, you are generally exempt from paying capital gains tax. It's a good way to store up treasure in heaven, while also maximizing the resources entrusted to us while on the earth. If you'd like to donate stock to Bethlehem, please contact Paul Johnson, Bethlehem's Financial Secretary, at 612.455.3471or by email.

Note: We strongly recommend you consult your financial planner or tax adviser before making a stock donation to Bethlehem, to determine how/if the potential tax advantages described here apply to your specific situation.
