Specific Giving Methods

Outright Gifts

Gifts of cash, securities or other property have an immediate impact on St. Mary's and are fully deductible for federal income tax purposes.

Gift Pledges

A pledge is a formal statement of intention to make a gift to St. Mary's. Many donors choose to complete their gift pledge by making regular payments over a period of time.

Matching Gifts

Many corporations have demonstrated their support to St. Mary's by matching, or multiplying, their employees' gifts. Before you make a gift, consult your company's personnel office for further information about matching programs.

Securities and Assets

Gifts of stock / securities represent a two-fold savings opportunity. Donors avoid paying capital gains taxes on the increased values of their stocks. In addition, donors receive a tax deduction for the full market value of the stock on the date of the gift. Please contact the Development Office and we can assist you with instructions to make a securities transfer.

Planned Giving

There are as many different ways to support St. Mary's as there are needs. We have many different paths and the potential tax savings that might result if we are able to structure a plan that is beneficial to you now and to your heirs in the future.
