Loire Valley Study Abroad is a Christian community of learning that educates and holistically disciples students through Biblical instruction, faculty mentorship, classroom interaction, and studying abroad in Europe. Together we pursue personal holiness and set our sights on what is biblical, authentic and relevant.

How It Works

  • You transfer appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares you have owned for more than one year to Two Talent Ministries.

  • Two Talent Ministries sells your securities and uses the proceeds for our programs.

  • Our mailing address is LVSA 15605 NE 44th St. Vancouver, WA 98682 USA

Benefits

  • You receive an immediate income tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities on the date of transfer (even if you originally paid much less for them).

  • You pay no capital gains tax on the transfer when the stock is sold.

  • Giving appreciated stock can be more beneficial than giving cash. The "cost" of your gift is often less than the deduction you gain by making it.
