A gift of long-term appreciated securities - i.e. stocks, bonds and/or mutual funds that have realized significant appreciation over time, is one of the most tax-efficient of all ways to give. The two key advantages:

• Any long-term appreciated securities with unrealized gains (meaning they were purchased over a year ago and have a current value greater than their original cost) may be donated to Saint Francis and a tax deduction taken for the full fair-market value of the securities.
• Since the securities are donated rather than sold, capital gains taxes from selling the securities no longer apply.

When making a gift of securities, it is important that you arrange for a direct transfer to the broker for Saint Francis High School and not sell them yourself. Please refer to the Stock Transfer Instructions for details.

Through planned giving, donors can incorporate meaningful gifts to Saint Francis High School in a thoughtful, organized manner intended to coordinate the donor's philanthropic objectives with his or her overall estate and financial plan.

In most cases, planned gifts not only benefit Saint Francis, but can benefit the donor, as well. This is because many planned gifts can be structured to allow the donor to retain income from or the use of the "gifted" property during his or her lifetime. Planned gifts can also be structured to reduce, and in some cases, eliminate income, capital gains and estate taxes.

Our motto at Saint Francis High School is "to educate the hearts and minds to serve the world." Even seemingly modest bequests can make a meaningful contribution to this vision. The Saint Francis Institutional Advancement Office would be pleased to discuss with you, or your accountant or attorney, the variety of ways to include Saint Francis in your estate or financial planning through one or more planned gifts.
