• A Gift of Securities

  A donor that owns appreciated securities can benefit in two ways by making a gift of securities. First, they are able to claim a charitable income tax deduction for the full value of the shares, and second, they are able to avoid the capital gains tax that would have been due if they sold the shares. When making a gift of securities, it is important you arrange for a direct transfer of your securities to St. Francis High School and not sell them yourself. Contact our Office of Institutional Advancement for more information.

• A Gift of Real Estate

  Real estate can be contributed to St. Francis High School, entitling the donor to an income tax deduction based on the current, appraised value.

It is advisable to consult with your attorney and accountants prior to making this type of gift.
