IRS & Tax-deferred Accounts

Farm Commodities
Farmers can donate commodities like grain or livestock instead of cash to Quakertown Christian School, while also reducing taxes.
Gifts of Stock
You can turn your investments into cash without losing a large portion of your capital gains to taxes by donating all or a portion of your stock to Quakertown Christian School.
Gifts of Real Estate
Giving a charitable gift of real estate is an option for owners of farmland, commercial or residential rental property, or vacant investment land.
