Corporate/Employer Matching Gifts

Many corporations match gifts to charitable institutions made by employees and directors; some will match the gifts of employee spouses and retired employees as well. For information about your Employer's matching gift program, please contact your human resources office.

Gift of Land or Property

Real property, such as a house, apartment building, land, or farm, may be given outright. In this case, The Father's Heart Foundation will sell the property and use the proceeds immediately. It is also possible for real property to be used to fund a trust and provide the donor (or another person) with lifetime income. Additionally, a donor can give a house to The Father's Heart Foundation and retain the right to live in it. This type of gift provides the donor with an immediate charitable deduction, and may also allow the donor to claim deductions throughout his or her lifetime on capital improvements made to the property.

Estate and/or Planned Giving

Your generous donation creates a legacy of assets from major gifts, life income programs, and trust and estate gifts. While focusing on the needs of The Father's Heart Foundation, you are leaving a legacy by giving to the specific programs and services that make the difference in the lives of the families and teens we serve. 

Gift of Stocks or Bonds

If you have marketable securities that have grown substantially in value, the tax laws make it possible for you to make an important gift at remarkably low after-tax cost. Indeed, under the right circumstance, a benefactor could make a gift worth $100,000 at a cost of as little as $32,400. A lifetime gift of appreciated securities generally qualifies not only for the income tax deduction associated with all lifetime charitable gifts, but it also avoids the long-term capital gains tax on your paper profit. Usually, a sale of appreciated securities results in a tax on your full gain-meaning that you keep only part of the profit. But if appreciated securities are given to a qualified charitable organization, there is no tax on your gain, even though your "profit" is counted as part of your charitable deduction.

Here are the rules for giving appreciated securities or other property:

-The full fair market value of the property, if you have owned it more than one year, is deductible in the year of the gift. If the gift, coupled with other gifts, exceeds 30% of your adjusted gross income (the maximum deduction allowable for most gifts of appreciated property), the excess can be carried over and deducted in up to five subsequent years.

-No matter how much the property has appreciated in value, you pay no capital gains tax on your paper profit. Important: The securities should be transferred to Advocate to avoid capital gains. If you contribute assets other than publicly traded securities, you will need a qualified appraisal if the value is over $5,000.

How to Make a Gift of Securities (Stocks, Bonds, etc.)

Here are the steps for giving your appreciated stocks and bonds.
If Your Broker Holds the Shares:

If your securities reside in a brokerage account, ask your broker to transfer the specified shares electronically.

When directing your broker to make this transfer, you need to include the above information in a written letter. In this letter, you should also specify The Father's Heart Foundation and/or the program or fund to which you are making your gift. Please make sure to also send a copy of this letter to the The Father's Heart Foundation.

If your broker has questions about making an electronic gift of securities, please have your broker contact our office at 866-HEART-25.

The gift will be valued on the date the securities are received into The Father's Heart Foundation's account. The value will be the mean of the high and the low trades on the date the gift was received.
You should not allow your broker to sell the securities and send us a check. If the broker does this, the tax advantages of making the gift may be eliminated.
If You Hold the Certificates:

Please mail the certificates via U.S. Postal Service (first class mail) without any endorsement or assignment along with a letter stating the purpose of your gift to The Father's Heart Foundation.

In a separate envelope, please send one endorsed Stock Power Form per certificate to the above address. You will need to guarantee the signature on the stock power form. This is different from having a document notarized. Most banks provide a signature guarantee service. You should endorse each form exactly as your name(s) appear on the front of your certificate(s). You do not need to include any other information on the form.

The stock certificates will not be negotiable until we have received both envelopes.

The gift date will be established from the later postmark of the two envelopes. The value will be the mean of the high and the low trades on the gift date.
