Saints Legacy Endowment

Donors often make cash payments toward their pledge using checks, cards, or automatic withdrawals. Please make checks payable to Saint Thomas Aquinas.

Donors can make future commitments through a monthly, quarterly, or yearly plan. 

Gifts of stocks, bonds or mutual funds avoid capital gains tax.

Gifts made through Donor Advised Funds or family foundations can optimize giving and tax benefits.

Donors can use tax-deferred IRAs for charitable gifts. This strategy can fulfill part or all your required minimum distribution, up to $100,000 annually, reducing tax liability.

A bequest is a gift from your estate - a transfer of cash, securities, or other property made through your estate plans. You can make a bequest to Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic High School by including language in your will or living trust leaving a portion of your estate to the school, or by designating Saint Thomas AquinasCatholic High School as a beneficiary of your retirement account or life insurance policy.

Make a gift of your life insurance policy and allow Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic High School to choose cash value or death benefit, or designate Saint Thomas Aquinas as the beneficiary.

Real estate can be a difficult item to resolve within an estate, or by family members after it leaves the estate. A gift to Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic High School avoids estate, gift and capital gains taxes, and provides an income tax deduction. If some cash is needed, then a bargain sale can be used to provide cash in part, and a gift in part.
