How to Make A Gift

The following information describes a wide range of giving options that can help you make a gift that will maximize benefits to you and the school. In addition to cash, many other assets may be used to fund a gift including appreciated stock, personal property, real estate, and gifts-in-kind. You may make your gift so that it is used immediately or you may give through other planned giving methods, such as life income plans that provide income, tax, and personal benefits.
Any income tax charitable deduction arising from your gifts to the school may generally be used in the year of the gift, or in any of the next five years. Please consult your tax advisor before claiming any charitable deduction on an income tax return.

Give a Gift of Securities
Securities are the most common form of property given to non-profit institutions. St. Anne's-Belfield School welcomes gifts of stocks, bonds, and shares of mutual funds. By donating appreciated stocks directly to St. Anne’s-Belfield, you can avoid the capital gains tax that would be incurred if you sold the securities. When a gift of securities is made, donors are entitled to a charitable income tax deduction for the full, fair-market value of the stock for the year the gift is made. The fair-market value is determined by the mean of the high and low sales prices on the date the stock is received by St. Anne's-Belfield School. For stock transfer instructions, please click here.
