There are many ways to maximize your contribution to Saint Vincent – by arranging a matching gift, gift of appreciated securities, or participating in a planned giving opportunity. Of course, you should always consult your tax adviser for information about your tax-deductible gift.

Cash / Checks / Money Orders / Credit Cards
These gifts are deductible for income tax purposes up to a limit of 50 percent of Adjusted Gross Income (AGI).  When these gifts exceed the limit, donors may carry over the excess for up to five years.  For more information, please click on How to Make Your Gift

Matching Gifts
Many companies match personal gifts to educational institutions made by employees, retirees and their family members.  By taking advantage of an employer's matching gift program, you can double – or even triple – your own generous contribution.  Most companies require you to complete a form and send it back to the school after the gift is made.  Please ask your employer for details. To find out if your company has a matching gift policy follow this link.

Appreciated Stocks and Securities
Gifts of appreciated securities enable you to support Saint Vincent, avoid capital gains taxes and earn a charitable tax deduction for the fair market value on the date of the gift. To make a gift of stock, you should contact your broker and notify Saint Vincent about your gift. For more information about making a gift of stock, contact Jennie Miller at (724) 805-2412.

Planned Gifts
A planned gift is another tax-advantaged way to support the College. Planned gifts can reduce estate taxes, provide a life income for yourself and others, and enhance retirement income. You can also provide for Saint Vincent College in your will or living trust.  For more information, contact Ed Nemanic, Planned Giving Officer at (724) 805-2948.
