Overflow

Have you ever thought: “Nobody actually gives stock.”

This is a HUGE misconception in the giving space today. Your donors WANT to give stock, because it’s the most tax efficient way to give—they just don’t want to jump through hoops to do so.

Overflow is an online software that empowers donors to easily give stock donations to churches and non-profits within minutes, not months.

You see, 90% of US wealth is in non-cash assets (like stock). Churches that ONLY accept cash donations leave a generosity gap. Overflow is here to help bridge that gap.

The average cash donation in the US is just $128, but the average stock donation through Overflow is over $10,000.

Compassion International

It’s also almost Christmas, but it’s not too late to do something meaningful.

Your church is going to be asking you, “Hey, what are we doing for Christmas this year for those less fortunate?” Why not partner with Compassion?

They’ve got this thing called a Giving Tree. You put it up in your lobby, or lobbies if you’ve got multiple locations, and on there are some life-giving gifts. Your congregation can pick up a tag, an ornament, say “We’re going to give this gift this year,” and a child has his or her practical needs met this Christmas.

It’s not too late. Head on over to compassion.com/givingtree/carey. You can still get in on meeting a practical need for a child in poverty this holiday season.

Best yet, Compassion partners with the local church, so check it out at compassion.com/givingtree/carey.
