We have gladly supported Global Scholars financially for many years through monthly giving. We first became interested in Global Scholars because we met on the university campus. The faithful witness of Christians on a secular campus was instrumental in Andy’s coming to faith. Additionally, we realized that the university has an outsized impact on culture and future leaders and influencers. So, for some time, we have been interested in ways we can better serve this valuable ministry.
As part of my employment compensation, my company also provided stock. A friend mentioned that we could directly transfer that stock ownership to nonprofit organizations such as Global Scholars rather than selling the stock ourselves and then sending the remaining cash proceeds to Global Scholars. This allowed us to increase our giving and it offered various tax benefits.
Global Scholars does not provide tax or legal advice. Please consult your advisor to make sure any gift you are considering is right for you.
