Monetizing your gift: How distributions are processed

We’ve created these videos to help explain the distribution process. Watch the videos and review the chart below to gain clarity about all the considerations and evaluations that go into distributions and how the money becomes available for giving.

Distributions: An overview of what happens when a distribution is made

Distribution case study: Estimating how distributions will be used

Mobilizing resources for charity

To better understand how taxes, costs, expenses, and money for granting are handled while we’re an owner of the asset you gifted, take a look at the resource below.

While an owner, we will:

• Need to receive our ownership distributions
• Work with your tax experts to estimate our potential tax liability
• Withhold a portion of the distributed funds for taxes, ministry grant, costs, and fees
• Grant net proceeds to a grantmaking vehicle like a Giving Fund

Note: To the extent that distributions do not cover carrying costs, our team will explain your options for covering them.

It’s our mission to mobilize resources by inspiring biblical generosity. While the gifted asset is owned by NCF or one of its affiliated ministries, distributions should enable current and ongoing giving.

NCF and its affiliated ministries

We know you want to be a good steward of all God has entrusted to you. That’s why we come alongside you with shared biblical values, innovative charitable solutions, and highly personalized service so you can give more strategically and with greater purpose. Since 1982, generous givers at NCF have mobilized more than $25 billion for 100,000+ churches, ministries, and charities.
