The Hat Trick of Giving Stock: 3 Ways You Score by Giving Stock

“He shoots; he scores!” the announcer yells. Music blares, colorful lights flash, and the crowd goes wild.

For hockey players, there’s nothing quite as exciting as achieving a hat trick – scoring three goals in a single game.

Less flashy, but almost as thrilling, is the triple score of giving appreciated stock to Fellowship of Christian Farmers International. It’s a smart and powerful way to share the Gospel and serve farmers and rural communities around the world.

When you give appreciated stock, you score three personal benefits:

1. Give without restricting your cash flow,  
2. Receive a fair market value deduction at the time of your gift, AND
3. Avoid taxes on the sale of the stock.  

You may not hear any blaring music or thunderous applause, but you can celebrate knowing you’ve accomplished great impact in a tax-efficient manner.

Feel free to do a fist pump — or even skate a victory lap or two! We promise we won’t judge.
