90% of the average American’s wealth is in noncash or nonliquid assets. Yet, 80% of our giving is done with cash.
Said another way, generous families have been trying to solve the world’s greatest problems with only 10% of the potential resources.
What if we made the other 90% available?
What starts as a tax saving strategy can grow into a generous gift that will make a difference for eternity.

"With the sale of our business, the non-liquid gift really allowed us to fulfill what for me felt like my stewardship obligation to the Lord with the business."

"For me and kind of the business I'm in, where we sell assets and are under long-term capital gains, that means we're able to give 20 to 23% more with our giving dollars by using the DAF... and it's just more impactful."

How does it work?
Nonliquid charitable gifts can benefit both the donor and the recipient. As a donor, you may be able to minimize your tax liability while maximizing what you are able to give.
Step 1
Donate all or part of the asset to a donor advised fund with The Signatry before the asset is sold or liquidated.
Win #1: You may receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the gift.
Step 2
When the asset is sold, the portion held in your donor advised fund at The Signatry is liquidated and the proceeds become available for granting.
Win #2: Your capital gains taxes may be lower because you have already donated part of the asset to The Signatry.
Step 3
As a 501(c)(3) public charity, The Signatry may be able to pay a lower capital gains tax rate on the donated portion—leaving more of the proceeds available for granting.
Win #3: More goes to the causes you care about.
The most important thing to remember is: Start early. Many of the benefits of giving noncash assets only apply when the asset is donated before it is sold. If you are considering selling a nonliquid asset in the future, now is the time to start building your charitable strategy.
