MAKE A GIFT

MATCHING GIFTS
Many businesses and corporations match their employees' contributions to non-profit organizations, usually dollar-for-dollar. Last year, thousands of dollars were contributed by the employers of parents, grandparents and friends to a variety of programs at Saint Joseph.

GIFTS IN KIND
The School is happy to accept gifts in-kind that are pre-approved by the Development Office to ensure proper placement of the gift. The Development Office also identifies areas where gifts are needed.

GIFTS OF SECURITIES
Incorporating charitable giving into your overall financial plan can be the most effective and efficient way to make your contributions go farther. You can contribute publicly traded stocks, bonds and mutual funds to Saint Joseph by transferring them from your existing brokerage account to Saint Joseph. The securities will then immediately be sold with proceeds being immediately sent to the school.

INCLUDE SAINT JOSEPH IN YOUR ESTATE PLANNING
Planned giving (or "charitable gift planning"), refers to the process of making a charitable gift of estate assets to a nonprofit organizations. Including Saint Joseph in an estate plan provides for the long term fiscal health of the School and gives donors the opportunity to receive immediate or deferred tax benefits.

MEMORIAL FUNDS
Many individuals often wish to memorialize loved ones by making a donation to Saint Joseph. Memorial gifts can be made to the scholarship, endowment, capital campaign and Jester Annual Fund Appeal. Upon receipt of the gift, an acknowledgement card is sent to the family of the loved one.
