Gifts of Cash and Stock are the most common ways gifts are given to the Church.

Gifts of Cash

• Cash gifts provide the donor a charitable tax deduction from current income.

Gifts of Stock

• Stock gifts provide an additional benefit to the donor. The Donor who contributes stock which has appreciated may also avoid the capital gains taxes on that appreciation.

Gifts of real and personal property also provide the Donor some special tax considerations with certain qualifications.

Gifts of Real and Personal Property

• Appraisals or some other means of establishing value are ordinarily necessary in property gifts.

It is recommended that you contact the Office for Stewardship and Development at the diocese for more information.
