Strategic Giving Beyond Cash and Securities

New Day for Children has partnered with the National Christian Foundation (NCF) to offer a trusted pathway for receiving complex and non-traditional gifts. Through this partnership, we can accept a wide range of non-cash assets in a way that is both tax-efficient and mission-advancing.

Examples of Complex Gifts

• Real estate - residential, commercial, or undeveloped land

• Business interests - privately held stock, LLCs, partnerships

• Personal property - valuable collectibles, vehicles, etc.

• Estate gifts and other planned giving instruments

• Other unique non-cash assets

This approach allows you to align your generosity with wise financial stewardship - often unlocking greater giving potential than cash alone - while also providing favorable tax benefits.

Let’s Start the Conversation

If you are considering a complex asset gift or would like to explore the possibilities, please contact Phil Wood at philw@newdayforchildren.com. We will work closely with you, your advisors, and the expert team at NCF to design a gift that is tailored to your financial goals - and your heart for ministry impact.

Strategic Charitable Giving through Appreciated Assets

One of the most tax-efficient ways to support New Day for Children is by donating publicly traded securities or mutual funds. By giving appreciated assets held for more than one year, you may be able to reduce both your income tax and capital gains tax - all while making a lasting difference in the lives of children we serve.

When This Strategy Makes Sense

This giving approach may be ideal if:

• You’ve owned publicly traded securities for more than a year.

• Those assets have appreciated in value.

• You want to increase your impact while receiving meaningful tax benefits.

Key Tax Advantages

• Charitable income tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities.

• No capital gains tax on the appreciated portion of your gift.

How to Make a Gift of Securities or Mutual Funds

1. Notify us – Email philw@newdayforchildren.com to let us know your intent to give. We will provide the necessary transfer instructions.

2. Coordinate with your broker – Have them complete the transfer to our account.

3. Confirm details – Once the transfer is complete, please confirm the number of shares, the ticker symbol, and your preferred gift designation.

Please allow 4–5 business days for the transaction to settle and be officially recorded as your gift to New Day for Children.

Flexible Giving with Immediate Tax Benefits

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) offers a simple, flexible, and tax-efficient way to support the mission of New Day for Children. You can receive an immediate charitable tax deduction when you contribute to your DAF, while retaining the ability to recommend grants to New Day over time.

How a DAF Works

1. Open a DAF – Establish your fund through your financial institution, wealth advisory firm, or a community foundation.

2. Recommend grants – Suggest one-time or recurring grants (monthly, quarterly, or annually) to New Day for Children.

3. Align giving with your goals – Integrate your charitable giving into your overall financial and stewardship plan.

Important Notes

• Your tax receipt will be issued by your DAF sponsor, not by New Day for Children.

• If your DAF grant is intended to fulfill a pledge, please inform your fund administrator so we can record your gift accurately.

• For New Day’s Tax ID and documentation, contact philw@newdayforchildren.com.

As with all charitable giving, please consult your financial advisor to ensure this strategy fits within your overall giving and tax plan.

A Smart Way to Give from Retirement Assets

If you are age 70½ or older, you may be eligible to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to New Day for Children. This strategy can be a tax-wise way to support our mission, as it allows you to satisfy all or part of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) while reducing taxable income.

How It Works

• You instruct your IRA custodian to make the distribution directly to New Day for Children.

• The gift amount counts toward your RMD but is excluded from your taxable income (up to the annual limit set by the IRS).

Key Requirements

• You must be at least 70½ years old at the time of the gift.

• Funds must come directly from your IRA to New Day for Children (not withdrawn and then donated).

• QCDs do not qualify for a charitable deduction, since they are excluded from taxable income.

For instructions and our Tax ID, contact philw@newdayforchildren.com.

Please consult your financial advisor or tax professional to ensure this strategy aligns with your overall charitable and retirement plan.

Double — or Even Triple — Your Impact

Many employers offer matching gift programs, multiplying the charitable contributions their employees make. Some even match volunteer hours with financial gifts.

New Day for Children is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit and is eligible for most corporate matching programs - including those managed through Benevity.

How to Participate

1. Check with your Human Resources department or workplace giving portal to see if your employer matches charitable gifts.

2. If your company uses Benevity, simply search for New Day for Children and follow the steps to submit your match request.

3. Complete any forms required by your company and let us know so we can confirm your gift.

By taking a few extra minutes, you can double or even triple your impact, helping more children find freedom, hope, and healing.
