Pragmatic Giving for Greater Impact
THE CLARK FAMILY STORY
“I’m kind of a pragmatic thinker. What’s the biggest impact we can have?”
This is how Taylor and Gayle Clark decide how to give. It has led them to champion student ministry, especially on college campuses. For the Clarks, supporting student ministry is both strategic and personal.
“I came to a personal relationship with Christ in college,” Gayle said. “It changed everything.”
Knowing the power of discipleship firsthand, the Clarks also value student ministry because of how pivotal the college years are. Taylor explained: “If you can change lives that have a lifelong trajectory [ahead] to live for kingdom purposes … that’s a 60, 70, or 80-year path.”
Pragmatism in how they give is just as important to the Clarks.
Nonliquid giving through The Signatry is one critical strategy they use to multiply the value of their donations. Taylor donates long-term capital gains directly to a donor advised fund so that the full, pre-tax value of the asset can be used to support campus ministries.
He shared: “The donor advised fund is the best vehicle to allow us to donate assets prior to a sale, sell those assets, and [when] the full amount goes to the DAF, that allows us to give 20-23% more. It’s whatever you avoid in taxes.”
Through the DAF, those tax savings are transformed into real impact on college campuses.
