Stocks & Mutual Funds

You can donate appreciated securities - stock, mutual funds, bonds, ADRs (American Depository Receipts) and other “property” to Redeemer Lincoln Square and oftentimes receive a greater tax benefit than you would if selling the appreciated securities and then donating cash. Donations of appreciated securities are recorded as a charitable gift at the appreciated amount. Also, by donating appreciated securities you can avoid recording a capital gain in the security (assuming the investment has appreciated and that you have held the asset for more than one year). You should check with a tax professional before initiating any transfer of securities.

If you would like to donate securities:
‍Please contact Priscilla Dewing, Senior Director, Financial Reporting & Accounting Services (917-206-1427 or priscilla.dewing@redeemer.com) if you are considering this kind of gift so that (a) you can designate the gift for Redeemer Lincoln Square, (b) we can understand how you would like this gift to be utilized, and (c) send you a tax receipt in a timely manner. Then, you can initiate the transfer through your broker and request that the securities be transferred to:
J.P. Morgan Clearing Corp.
Account Name: Redeemer Presbyterian Church
Account Number: 73301394
DTC #: 0352

Donor Advised Funds

You can make a gift to Redeemer Lincoln Square via a Donor Advised Fund, such as Fidelity Charitable Giving. Most Donor Advised Funds allow a lookup by Federal Tax ID, which is the best way to search for our organization. Our Federal Tax ID is 13-3555328. In addition, you must put “Redeemer LSQ” as the fund for your gift designation, otherwise the donation will go to Redeemer West Side. Please keep in mind that your tax receipt will be issued by the Fund, not Redeemer Lincoln Square. LSQ will include any Donor Advised Fund gifts on your contribution statement, under the 'non tax deductible' section.

Bitcoin & Crypto

Current Redeemer Lincoln Square members and attenders can donate bitcoin and other cryptocurrency through Coinbase, Bitpay and Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund. If you have a Coinbase account, and prefer to send your gift to Redeemer's Coinbase account, you can do so by sending a Coinbase gift to our email for Coinbase donations.

Please contact Priscilla Dewing, Senior Director, Financial Reporting & Accounting Services (917-206-1427 or priscilla.dewing@redeemer.com) if you are considering this kind of gift so that we can understand how you would like this gift to be utilized and send you a tax receipt in a timely manner.

FAQ

If you have a question that’s not addressed here, please contact us.

Are there donor fees involved with online giving that will reduce the amount of my gift?

No. The full amount of your gift will be tax deductible.

Are there administrative fees involved with online giving?

Only if the online gift is through credit or debit card. Redeemer Lincoln Square pays 1.5% to 2.5% merchant fees for each credit or debit card gift. Fees are higher with American Express as compared to Visa or Mastercard. Please consider giving by electronic check by entering your account number and routing number when making larger gifts.

Are there any special instructions or limitations when making an online gift?

We are able to accept gifts via echeck of up to $250,000 per week per person. Gifts can be made directly on our website. Credit card gift limits are set by your credit card provider.

In the event that you are planning to make a large gift at the end of the year with your credit card, you may want to call your credit card company in advance to pre-authorize your gift transaction, particularly if you plan on making multiple gifts to Redeemer Lincoln Square within a short time span. LSQ has found through experience that some credit card issuers may require your authorization to process your online gift. With the proper pre-authorization measures in place, we are able to accept gifts via Visa/Mastercard/Discover of up to $100,000 per single gift. Please contact us if you wish to make multiple Visa/Mastercard/Discover gifts greater than $100,000 in the aggregate. We are able to accept gifts via American Express of any amount. Credit card gifts can be made directly on our website.

What should I know about IRS rules on year end tax deductible contributions for online gifts?

Electronic checks (eChecks) and credit card gifts that are made online and time stamped by 11:59 pm on December 31st will be included in your tax deductible contribution statement for the year.

What are the IRS rules on year end tax deductible contributions for mailed checks?

Mailed checks which are postmarked by December 31 by the US Postal Service will be included in your tax deductible contribution statement for the year. Please note that IRS regulations require that checks sent through overnight carriers (such as UPS or FedEx) must be recorded on the date that the charity receives the check (rather than a postmarked date). So if you send a donation via UPS or FedEx (or any carrier other than the US Postal service), Redeemer Lincoln Square must record that donation on the date the check is received, rather than the date the check is mailed.

Generosity is a response to God’s love.
