In addition to simple cash gifts, Cornerstone happily accepts stock gifts, which offers great tax benefits to the donor. If you donate appreciated stock that you’ve held for over a year, you can claim a tax deduction for its current value, and neither you nor the church will pay taxes on the capital gains.

Alternatively, you can use a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) to give regular stock donations. With a DAF, you receive an immediate tax deduction for your contribution, and the funds can grow tax-free through investments. You can then gift the appreciated stocks to Cornerstone at regular intervals, with the proceeds being donated as cash to the church.

If you’d like to make a stock gift, or set up donations through a Donor Advised Fund, email Finance@cornerstonetulsa.org and our treasurer will walk you through next steps.
