Thank you for giving! As you consider your final contributions for this year, remember that only gifts postmarked or otherwise delivered by December 31 qualify for a tax deduction for the current calendar year.

If you transfer appreciated assets to InterVarsity by December 31, you can deduct the fair market value for tax purposes and avoid paying the capital gains tax on those assets. InterVarsity also accepts gifts of real estate, life insurance, and many other types of assets.

If this is a time of year when you review your estate and financial plans, please consider including InterVarsity as a future beneficiary. Email Gary Kopan for more information or call him toll-free at 1-866-734-4823, extension 3685.
