Learn which assets are most commonly used to fund a gift.

Cash

One of the most common ways to make a gift to Baptist Mid-Missions Foundation is to write a check, make a gift using a credit card, or donate online.

Stocks & Bonds

Giving appreciated stock that you have owned for more than one year is one of the most tax-advantaged ways to make charitable gifts. With careful planning, you can reduce your capital gains tax while supporting Baptist Mid-Missions Foundation.

Retirement Assets

A gift of your retirement assets, such as an employee retirement plan, IRA, or tax-sheltered annuity, is an excellent way to make a gift. A gift of these assets can shield your heirs from taxes while funding BMM Foundation's future ministries.

Life Insurance

Life insurance is a valuable asset for making a charitable gift. You can make a gift of a life insurance policy without diminishing other investments or assets earmarked for family members.

Real Estate

A gift of real estate allows you to preserve your cash assets, receive tax and income advantages, and make a significant charitable gift to BMM Foundation.

Personal Property

A gift of artwork, coins, antiques, or other personal property can be an excellent way to support BMM Foundation and its ministries.

Oil, Gas & Mineral Rights or other Natural Resources

A gift of mineral rights or other natural resources packs great potential to impact the ongoing work of BMM Foundation. Whether you own mineral rights, receive mineral royalties or both, or you wish to make the most of other natural resources, your real estate holdings can be given strategically to maximize the impact of your gift.

The IRA Gift (QCD)

The IRA charitable rollover (also called the Qualified Charitable Distribution, or QCD) is a great way to make a tax-free gift to Baptist Mid-Missions Foundation.
