Additional Giving Options to Consider:
Company Matches - Research if your company provides match programs. This is a great way to maximize your gift by leveraging company giving programs.
Planned Giving- Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) - If you are 70½ or older, a QCD allows you to give directly from an IRA to SCCS. It can be a tax-smart way to support Catholic education.
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) - A DAF allows you to recommend charitable gifts to SCCS from a fund you have already established, making it a simple and flexible way to give.
Charitable Gift Annuities- A charitable gift annuity allows you to make a gift to SCCS while receiving fixed payments for life. It can provide both charitable impact and potential financial benefits.
Appreciated Stock- Gifting appreciated securities can allow you to support SCCS while potentially avoiding capital gains tax on the appreciation. Your gift can make a lasting impact on Catholic education.
Consult your financial advisor or tax professional to determine which giving option is right for you and the best way to maximize your gift contributions!
