Tax-Smart + Planned Giving

Your generosity creates a lasting, Christ-centered impact. Whether you give today or plan a gift for the future, you help ensure families and students in the Lincoln community experience restoration, hope, and the love of Jesus.

Tax-Smart Giving

These gifts can provide immediate tax benefits while allowing you to steward your resources faithfully.

  • If you are 70 ½ or older, you can give up to $100,000 per year directly from your IRA. A QCD is tax-efficient, satisfies your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), and supports Gospel-centered transformation at Lincoln Village.

    *Please download the Letter of Intent below. Why include a Letter of Intent?
    When Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) checks are sent from retirement account providers, they often arrive without the donor’s name or contact information. Including a brief Letter of Intent helps us connect your gift to you, ensuring proper acknowledgment, accurate records, and timely confirmation of your generous support.

  • Recommend a grant to Lincoln Village Ministry from your Donor-Advised Fund at any time. You receive an immediate tax deduction when contributing to your DAF, and you support ministry at your own pace.

  • Donate appreciated assets to reduce capital gains taxes while advancing the mission of Lincoln Village Ministry.

    *For stock donations, provide the following details to your broker:
