WAYS TO GIVE

TO DONATE ONLINE, CLICK HERE 

 

Federal tax laws are designed to encourage support of charitable institutions.  While your commitment to St. Dominic High School is a personal matter, this section may help you consider the ways of giving that are most appropriate for your financial circumstances, prior commitments, and other responsibilities.

 

This section presents an overview of some tax considerations of charitable giving.  We urge you to consult your own financial advisors about your personal situation.

 

CASH

Gifts of cash are fully deductible for federal income tax purposes, subject to the limitations that total deductions for contributions in any one year do not exceed 50% of the donor’s adjusted gross income.  Excess amounts may be carried over for five years.

 

PLEDGES

St. Dominic high School encourages pledges as a way of giving to the school.  Pledge payments can be scheduled to accommodate the individual donor’s needs.

 

SECURITIES

Gifts of appreciated securities generate charitable deductions for the fair market value of the stock at the time of the gift to the extent of 30% of adjusted gross income.  If it is not possible to take advantage of the full value of the deduction all at once, the excess may be carried over for five years.  No capital gains tax is imposed on the appreciation.

 

To donate stock, please notify St. Dominic High School of your gift by calling the Development Office at 636-240-7639, advising of the name of the stock, the number of shares, and any and all restrictions that apply to the use of the proceeds.  If you have the stock certificate, it can be delivered to the Development Office by mail or in person.  If your stock is in a brokerage account, please contact the Development Office for instructions on transferring the stock directly into the school’s account.
