additional ways to give

Check
Checks should be payable to the Hospitality Center and mailed to:
The Hospitality Center
1407 Cleveland Ave North
​​St. Paul, MN, ​55108
Stocks and Mutual Funds
To make a gift of stock or mutual funds to the Hospitality Center, please follow these three simple steps: 
  • Transfer stock or mutual fund shares to our brokerage account at NFS, or National Finance Services ("The Hospitality Center", Account #TY9-003727, DTC #0226). Your charitable tax deduction is based on the fair market value of the stock or mutual funds on the day of the gift.
  • Contact Dan Myers at Thrivent via email or phone to let us know you've transferred stock (otherwise we will not know it is from you!)
  • We will then send you the acknowledgement of your gift for your tax records!
Contributing stock or mutual fund to the Hospitality Center can be advantageous for you because capital gain may be avoided upon transfer to the Hospitality Center, plus we receive the shares tax-free and use the proceeds to support our mission!
REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION (RMD)
​If you are 70-and-a-half years old or older, the IRS requires you to start withdrawing from most types of tax-advantaged retirement accounts. You must also take RMDs from retirement accounts you inherit.  Avoid the 50% tax penalty through donating your RMD directly to the Hospitality Center and avoid paying taxes.

Qualified charitable distributions won’t be added to your taxable income for the year, so you may be eligible to save money in taxes by directing part of your RMD to the Hospitality Center. 100% of your gift will benefit organization. You’ll still enjoy tax benefits from your charitable giving, even if you don’t itemize your deductions.
Charitable Trusts
​Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT)
A charitable remainder trust (CRT) is a tax-exempt irrevocable trust designed to fund a person’s income needs for a specified period of time, then donating the remainder of the trust assets to your designated charity. They are often used by someone with a significant, appreciating asset (business interest, stocks, etc.) to balance today’s needs with tomorrow’s giving/legacy goals.

Charitable Lead Trust (CLT)
Like a CRT, a charitable lead trust (CLT) can be used to effectively fund your charitable desires. However, a CLT makes gifts upfront to your favorite charity for a period of time, then the remaining assets revert back to the donor or other beneficiaries.

Using your charitable trust to benefit the Hospitality Center is simple—just designate it as your charity of choice. We are happy to discuss what a significant gift to the Hospitality Center can do to elevate our mission and your legacy.
Planned Giving
You can help our mission be sustainable by providing a planned gift from your assets today and for the future. Extend your faithful and generous giving by chatting with our Executive Director about leaving a legacy gift that ensures international students meet loving Christians and the loving God.

Prayer
 Join the prayer team to read student stories of impact and support us by praying for us. Our work is only effective if God is moving and working in our midst, and for that to happen we need prayer!
DONOR ADVISED FUND (DAF)
​Setting up a donor advised fund is easy—many organizations operate a platform for establishing and maintaining your DAF, including Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard, and National Christian Foundation to name a few.

After making tax-deductible contributions to your donor advised fund, you then make grants (charitable gifts) to the Hospitality Center on a periodic or recurring basis. Many people use their DAF as a means to involve their family in the benefits and joys of generosity now, and also create a lasting legacy.


​You should be able to designate gifts to the Hospitality Center on an ongoing basis throughout the year or on an annual basis via your DAF website.
