Have you considered leaving a legacy through a planned gift to the Kirk of the Hills? Any simple bequest in a will or trust or within an estate plan, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, non-cash assets, and assets transferred using pay-on-death or transfer-on-death documents are gratefully received. Your gift enables the Kirk to continue to impact countless lives—your generous giving endures through the people and ministries at the Kirk.

NON-CASH donations of appreciated financial assets can benefit you as well as the Kirk. You may take advantage of stock or bond market gains, if any. A gift of stock (or other appreciated assets) entitles you to a tax deduction for the market value of the donated stock (not just your cost basis). If donated stock has been held for more than one year, you can avoid capital gains tax on any appreciation of the security by donating it rather than donating the cash from sale of the asset. Contact your financial and legal advisors for counsel. To receive a tax deduction in any calendar year, a non-cash gift must be received by the Kirk’s agent, Edward Jones, before the close of business on the final trade day of the calendar year. Call, or email Sarah Stair, Business Manager in the Kirk Business Office, for further information, or to make these arrangements. You will need the following information:
