Upcoming Tax Law Changes (Effective 2026)

Beginning in 2026, changes in tax law may impact how charitable deductions apply—particularly for those who itemize and for higher-income households.

Because of these changes, some individuals may benefit from accelerating charitable giving into 2025. We recommend discussing your personal situation with a qualified tax advisor.

Gifts of Appreciated Assets

Donating assets such as publicly traded stock, real estate, or virtual currency that have increased in value can often provide significant tax advantages.

  • Potential deduction at fair market value
  • Avoidance of capital gains tax
  • Tax-exempt sale by the church for full ministry impact

Qualified Charitable IRA Distributions (70½+)

If you are age 70½ or older, you may be eligible to give directly from your traditional (non-Roth) IRA through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).

  • Up to $108,000 annually (indexed for inflation)
  • Gift is not treated as taxable income
  • May count toward required minimum distributions
  • Distribution must be made directly to the church
