Other ways to donate
A legacy gift in the form of a bequest is a gift you make from your will or trust and is one of the most common and simple ways to leave a lasting legacy. They can be gifts of cash, stock, real estate or other assets. Bequests allow you to support the Catholic School’s Foundation (CSF) without affecting your current lifestyle.
How to make a bequest:
To start, decide how you would like to divide your assets. Consider your heirs first; charity second. Once you’ve decided to name CSF as a beneficiary of your will or trust, you’ll need to:
Provide a specific dollar amount or percentage of your estate
Leave a particular asset like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, artwork or other property to CSF
Name Catholic Schools Foundation, Inc as a residual beneficiary, so that CSF receives the remainder of your estate after all other bequests have been satisfied and final taxes paid
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving program that allows you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax benefit and then recommend grants from the fund over time. If you have a Donor-Advised Fund, DAF Direct enables you to recommend gifts, either one time or sustaining, to the Catholic Schools Foundation directly from your DAF.
Gifts of stocks and mutual funds are an extremely tax-efficient gifting option.
A gift of highly-appreciated securities offers you two-fold tax savings by avoiding the capital gains tax you’d owe if you sold the stock and then made the gift.
Making a gift of appreciated stock allows you to take an income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock at the time of the gift, regardless of how much you paid for the shares when you bought them. (Stock should be owned for more than one year to qualify for the tax advantages.)
Gifts of long-term capital gain stock are deductible up to a maximum of 30% of your adjusted gross income.
Gifts of stock may be made to the Catholic Schools Foundation, Inc. The Catholic Schools Foundation, Inc. maintains a brokerage account with Fidelity for the purpose of processing such transfers.
