"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:21
We give because God is generous and He calls us to be as well. What we do with what God has given us shows the world where our hearts are and helps proclaim the Gospel. We want to glorify God with every area of our lives, and that includes what we do with our finances.

If you are 70½ and are required to take a minimum distribution from your IRA, please click on the link below to learn more about giving through a Qualified Charitable Distribution
What is a qualified charitable distribution?
Generally, a qualified charitable distribution is an otherwise taxable distribution from an IRA (other than an ongoing SEP or SIMPLE IRA) owned by an individual who is age 70½ or over that is paid directly from the IRA to a qualified charity. See Publication 590-B, Distributions from Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs) for additional information.
Can a qualified charitable distribution satisfy my required minimum distribution from an IRA?
Yes, your qualified charitable distributions can satisfy all or part of the amount of your required minimum distribution from your IRA. Each year, an IRA owner aged 70 ½ years or older when the distribution is made can exclude from gross income up to $100,000 of their QCDs. For a married couple, if both spouses are age 70 ½ years or older when the distributions are made and both have IRAs, each spouse can exclude up to $100,000 for a total of up to $200,000 per year.
How are qualified charitable distributions reported on Form 1099-R?
Charitable distributions are reported on Form 1099-R for the calendar year the distribution is made.
At Sagemont Church, we believe estate planning is one of the most important acts of stewardship we can undertake. It’s the process of deciding how to wisely transfer the stewardship of all that God has entrusted to us when we step into eternity—protecting our families and honoring our values.
To help with this, Sagemont partners with PhilanthroCorp, a trusted Christian estate planning firm that has served thousands of families and hundreds of respected faith-based organizations since 1997. Their team will walk you through the process of creating an estate plan that reflects your goals, cares for your loved ones, and even allows you to leave a gift to Sagemont Church if you choose—all at no cost to you.
If you’d like more information or are ready to begin this process, please contact one of our team members: Chuck Schneider, Jenise Ehrlich, Jim Green, Debbie Dorris, or Charles Mayfield.
