Frequently Asked Questions

Can I donate anything other than cash?

Stocks donations – We have a broker account for stock gifts at stockdonator.com, simply register for a free account selecting TFH as the beneficiary of your stock donation and then advise your broker of your account details of where to make the transfer of stock to.
Other asset donations – All other asset donations are possible but the process may be unique and different.
Charitable IRA Rollover – This may be a great option for you if you have been advised to roll money out of your traditional IRA or Roth IRA to meet the annual minimum required distribution (MRD). How does that work? If you are 70 and half years of age or older, at the end of 2017, you may make up to a $100,000 distribution to a church or charity on or before the end of the year. The funds must go directly from the IRA trustee payable to the church or charity to qualify for a tax-free rollover. Please consult with your tax and investment advisors.
For all of these options, please contact the church office to speak to our Finance Director, Eric Rowlands (585) 889-4870 or email eric@tfh.tv .
