Gifts of Stock
If you have owned a stock for more than 12 months and it has appreciated in value during that time, you would incur a capital gains tax by selling it. However, if you give that stock to Nativity BVM High School as a gift, you avoid the capital gains tax and can also claim an income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the gift up to an amount equal to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income. Any unused deduction may be carried forward for up to five years.
Electronic transfers of shares of publicly traded stock and mutual funds is also an option.
Matching Gifts
Thousands of companies and corporate foundations match gifts to non-profit institutions such as Nativity BVM High School. Also, matching gifts are a great way to increase support of Nativity without additional out-of-pocket expense.
Matching gifts are a very important source of support. You can double or even triple the value of your donation and enhance your total gift by simply notifying your employer of your gift to Nativity. You may be eligible to submit matching gift claims from both your own and your spouse’s employer for the same gift. Contact the human resources office at your employer, your spouse’s employer, or even your former employer, if you are retired, to inquire about their matching gift program.
