Frequently Asked Questions

I am interested in making a real estate gift. Do I have to give all of it, or can I give just a portion?

There are many options when gifting real estate. You can give the entire property or a percentage
of the whole. There are even options that allow you to give your home but still make use of it during
your lifetime.

What other giving options are there?

While making an outright gift is the most popular way, others choose to make a gift that provides income for life or to make a gift to a donor-advised fund, such as Barnabas Foundation’s Stewards Fund. Your gift arrangement depends on what best suits your personal and charitable goals.

How can I give securely through the Barnabas Foundation?

Youth Dynamics partners with Barnabas Foundation to accept and administer non-cash gifts, including real estate. Through Barnabas Foundation, you can give simply and securely, knowing that your gifts will be liquidated efficiently and distributed to Youth Dynamics for ultimate impact.

Another easy and common way to make an end-of-life gift is to add Youth Dynamics as a beneficiary to assets held in an IRA, 401(k), or 403(b).

Begin your legacy giving while you are still alive and see your legacy at work! If you are 70.5 years old, you can rollover up to $100,000 of your IRA to Youth Dynamics. The charitable distributions count towards your minimum distribution requirements, and you will not be taxed on the transfer.

Another great option to begin your legacy giving while you are still alive is donating stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other publicly traded securities. Of course, this is a great option for end-of-life planning as well. Tax laws make gifts of assets that have appreciated in value highly advantageous – giving you and your heirs potential tax savings.

Youth Dynamics partners with the Barnabas Foundation to help facilitate this type of gift.

Since 1976, Barnabas Foundation has helped generous Christians transfer their wealth in ways that honor God, provide for their families and support the causes close to their hearts. Specifically, we partner with Christian ministries to help their supporters give through their wills and reduce their taxes through gifts of stock, real estate, and other assets.

To transfer stocks as a donation, contact your personal broker and fill out the Gifting Securities Information Form – FOR YOUTH DYNAMICS.

Adding Youth Dynamics as a primary or partial beneficiary in your will is the most common and simplest way to make an end-of-life gift. You can leave a percentage of your estate or a specific amount.

Convert virtual investments into real, tax-wise Kingdom impact by giving cryptocurrency to Youth Dynamics.

Are you among the growing number of Christians who have experienced fruitful investments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other cryptocurrency? You have a smart and powerful way to give in a substantial way AND reduce your taxes!

Cryptocurrency is subject to capital gains tax. The more it grows in value, the more you will owe when you sell it.

When, however, you give bitcoin or other cryptocurrency,* you’ll receive an immediate charitable deduction at the time of your gift. You will also avoid the tax bill you would have faced at the time of sale.

* You must have owned the cryptocurrency for at least one year to be eligible for a full charitable deduction.

Benefits of Giving Cryptocurrency

• Tax-wise. Receive a fair market value tax deduction and eliminate any taxes that you would have owed on the sale.
• Convenient. Give in a substantial way without affecting your cash flow.
• Impactful. Because charities are exempt from income taxes, your gift will go to the ministry!

Gifts That Pay Income

Cryptocurrency can also be given to establish a life income gift. You’ll receive an immediate tax deduction at the time of your gift and then ongoing income for you and/or your loved ones.

When you no longer need the income, the remainder of your gift will go to this ministry. It’s a win-win giving solution for you and for God’s Kingdom!
