Matching Gift Programs
Many businesses and companies, whether big or small, have programs set up that encourage their employees to give money to non-profit organizations, sometimes including churches.  Typically, if a company has a matching gifts program, for every dollar an employee donates to a charity, the company also donates a dollar to the same organization.  Some employers choose to double or even triple match their employees' donations!  Matching Gift Programs are a wonderful way for employees to make their charitable dollars stretch farther at no cost to themselves.  Simply ask your company's human resources office or benefits administrator for a matching gift form and instructions. You may be able to effectively double your contribution to Community!

We have sampled a number of companies that offer a matching gift program where your contributions to Community Christian Church would qualify for a matching gift from the employer.  Please contact your human resources or benefits department to see if your company offers the program.  If they match gifts to churches, contact Office Manager Vicky Horn (954.724.7400, ext 233), and let her know so we can keep an updated list of companies offering matching gifts programs. 

Payroll Deduction
Many aren't aware that the same process that allows employers to make automatic payroll deductions for charitable contributions like the United Way, can also be used to give directly to the church. By requesting a Payroll Deduction Form and submitting it to your company's Human Resources Department, you can make contributions to the church automatically. 

Gifts Of Stocks And Bonds (and avoid capital gains taxes!)
Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds are great ways to give without incurring capital gains on appreciated assets.  You can transfer your stock gift from your account directly to the church's account.  We will sell the asset and apply the amount of the sale to your annual contribution statement.  If you have a stock certificate on hand and want to discuss how to make the transfer, contact our Office Manager for more information.  Click here for additional information on gifts of stock and bonds.

Donation Of Valuables
Did you know that instead of using your car for a trade-in, you could donate that car to the church and receive a tax write-off?  This is not only limited to cars, but also includes boats, land, jewelry, and any other items of value.  Please contact Vicky Horn, our Office Manager, if you would like to make this type of gift. 

End Of The Year Gifts
As a Federally recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, people at Community Christian Church can receive a Federal tax deduction for their contributions to our church.  In order for a gift to be credited toward the current tax year, the church must receive your gift by December 31st of that year.  While forecasting their upcoming tax burden many realize that an "end of the year" gift of checks, securities, and valuables can alleviate some of that burden and make a difference in the lives of people at the same time.  If you would like to make an end of the year gift, simply give your contribution at the regular offering time or mail the appropriate form to the church office.

Leave A Gift In Your Will
Under current tax laws, unnecessary estate taxes are often paid by the estates of those who have died.  By leaving a portion of your assets to the church in your will, you not only avoid losing a large part of your estate to death taxes, but you continue making a difference in the lives of people long after you have departed.
