Charitable Giving
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” – Luke 6:38

Give More — Not by Giving More, But by Growing First
Instead of writing a check today, imagine this:
- Invest assets — such as stocks, real estate, or business interest.
- Let that asset grow in value over time.
- Then harvest the gain and gift it into a donor-advised fund at the Butterfield Foundation.
Benefits:
- Avoid capital gains taxes
- Receive a full charitable deduction
- Direct the growth to ministries close to your heart
- Multiply the final impact of your generosity
