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!
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.

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.
