 Giving
Opportunities
There are many ways in which you can
contribute to Xaverian High School. Besides making a yearly
contribution to the Annual Fund, you may consider the following
vehicles to show your appreciation for the educational experience
which Xaverian provided.
•
Cash
This is the most
frequent way in which individuals support Xaverian.
Gifts of cash are
fully tax-deductible as allowable by law.
•
Matching Gifts
Check with your
company or your spouse's company.
Many organizations
double or even triple your annual contribution.
By far, this is
the easiest way in which you can help Xaverian.
•
Stock
A great way to
show your support for Xaverian is through the transfer of
stock.
Often it is more
beneficial to transfer stock directly to Xaverian because
you avoid
a capital gains
tax on any increased value and also receive an income tax
deduction
at the full market
value of the stock.
•
Property
A gift of real
estate or personal property has similar benefits as to a stock
donation:
you get capital
gains savings, as well as a charitable deduction for the full
market
value of the gifted
property.
•
Gifts of Remembrance
Gifts of this nature
are made in honor of another individual or in memory of a
loved
one. The best vehicle
for this giving opportunity is the St. Michael's Chapel Tree
of
Life. A special
acknowledgment is sent to you and the individual honored or
the family
of the loved one
memorialized.
Planned
Giving Opportunities

Xaverian, this generous gift usually results in a significant
estate
tax savings.
•

usually has special benefit to you as well as Xaverian. A
gift of
appreciated property
can be the means for significant tax savings, an attractive
annuity and an
impressive "tax free" legacy to your family.
