BISHOP’S PARTNERSHIP IN CHARITY

GIFT TYPES - OPTIONS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

• Cash Gifts: This is the most common method of completing a financial pledge. Your gift to the Catholic Charity Fund Appeal is tax deductible and can be paid over the next twelve months.
   
• Credit Cards: You may now use your MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover Card to make Catholic Charity Fund Appeal gifts. Information on how to do this is on our gift page.
   
• Gifts of Securities: When you make a gift of appreciated publicly traded securities (including stocks) you have owned for at least one year, you avoid all capital gains taxes. In addition, you may take a charitable deduction for the full market value of those securities on the date of your gift. To make a gift of stock or other securities, please contact Sandra Sebring at 277-2121 for assistance. Please consult with your tax advisor on the applicable tax savings since this may vary among individuals.
   
• Gifts of Real Estate or Tangible Property: Property can be gifted as an outright gift or by bequest.
   
• United Way: Donor designated gifts to the Catholic Charity Fund Appeal can be done through payroll deduction with your employer or by utilizing the United Way Philanthropy Fund. Our United Way number is 9380.
   
• Matching Gifts: Your gift's value may be increased if you or your spouse is employed by a company with a matching gift program. Please contact your Human Resource Department and forward the appropriate forms with your gift. Matching gift opportunities are often extended to retired employees also.
   
• Parish Credit: Please remember that your Catholic Charity gifts will be credited to your parish's Catholic Charity Fund Appeal effort.
