7 Tax-Smart Ways to Make a Year-End Impact
As we approach the close of 2025, many friends of Nazarene Bible College reflect on ways to give back to causes close to their hearts. Your generosity not only strengthens NBC’s mission of preparing ministers but can also provide valuable tax benefits. Consider these seven practical and tax-wise ways to make a meaningful difference before December 31st.
GIVE NOW
Appreciated Stocks & Mutual Funds
Donating appreciated securities allows you to avoid capital gains taxes while receiving a charitable deduction. It’s a smart way to give without impacting your cash flow and can make a significant difference for NBC.
IRA Charitable Rollovers
If you are age 70½ or older, you can transfer up to $108,000 directly from your IRA to NBC tax-free. This gift counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution and are excluded from your taxable income.
Charitable Gift Annuities
A Charitable Gift Annuity provides lifetime fixed payments for you and supports NBC’s mission. Enjoy dependable income, possible tax benefits, and the joy of investing in future ministers.
Donor Advised Funds
Recommending a grant from your Donor Advised Fund before year-end is an easy way to fulfill your charitable goals and help NBC train leaders for ministry.
Recurring Gifts
Setting up a recurring gift ensures steady support for NBC throughout the year is a powerful way to start the new year with purpose – providing steady resources for training ministers. It’s simple, budget-friendly, and deeply impactful.
Memorial or Honorary Gifts
During this holiday season, honor someone special or remember a loved one with a gift that advances NBC’s mission. These gifts are meaningful and tax-deductible.
One-Time Cash Gifts
A one-time gift by check, credit card, or online before December 31st is the simplest way to make an immediate impact. These gifts qualify for a current-year tax deduction—just ensure checks are postmarked by December 31st.
Your generosity today equips tomorrow’s ministers. To ensure your gift counts for 2025, please act by December 31st. Click here to make an online gift or contact Tim Keeton, Vice President for Development at trkeeton@nbc.edu or (719) 884-5091 for assistance.
