Spring is in the air. The temps are warmer, the days are longer, and taxes are due.
As tax season approaches, it is the perfect time to consider various ways to use your Giving Fund at South Carolina Christian Foundation (SCCF) to maximize your charitable giving and optimize your tax strategies for the coming year. By using your Giving Fund creatively, you can reduce your taxable income and avoid certain tax liabilities while supporting the causes you care about most.
If you own your own business, have commercial real estate or rental properties, or are considering selling raw land, you have an incredible opportunity to leverage these "complex" assets to increase your giving capacity while possibly enhancing your personal bottom line. Any appreciated asset, including stocks or mutual funds, can be utilized to bring significant benefits to you and your favorite charities.
Last year, we assisted you and our other clients in giving $12,594,312 to charitable organizations and Christian ministries locally, nationally, and internationally. This year marked the highest giving level in our history, continuing an eight-year consistent growth trend. Thank you for allowing SCCF to partner to make this significant impact.
If SCCF benefits you, consider sharing our services with friends and family who may also benefit from the opportunities we offer. If your neighbor is a business owner, if your friend is selling the lake place, or if your cousin has significant holdings in the market, let them know this tax season that SCCF can assist them in mitigating taxes and maximizing giving.
We look forward to continuing to serve you and others as we grow in stewardship together and in the impact of charitable support on the lives of so many.
Bobby McDonald
SCCF President
