"How To Give"

To Saint Francis Xavier Catholic School

There are many ways to support St. Francis Xavier Catholic School. Below are some suggestions. St. Francis Xavier Catholic School is a 503 (c) tax organization so gifts are tax-deductible as allowable by law.


•Unrestricted Cash Gifts
The most straightforward giving option, cash provides immediate support for St. Francis Xavier Catholic School, its programs, projects, and future plans.

•Trusts
Charitable remainder trusts provide a gift for the school while also providing continuous yearly income for you or your specified beneficiary. You receive an immediate income tax deduction equal to a large percentage of your gift, and a portion of the income you receive over time is non-taxable.

•Bequests & Wills
Perhaps the most simple and common way of making a planned gift is through a will. A bequest in a will can take the form of a fixed amount of money, a percentage of an estate, a specific asset, a trust, or the naming of an organization such as Saint Francis Catholic School as a contingent beneficiary.

•Endowments
A financial endowment is a transfer of money or property donated to an institution. The total value of an institution's investments is often referred to as the institution's endowment and is typically organized as a public charity, private foundation, or trust. Among the institutions that commonly manage an endowment are: academic institutions (e.g., colleges, universities, private schools), cultural institutions (e.g., museums, libraries, theaters, hospitals) and religious establishments. An endowment may come with stipulations regarding its usage. In some circumstances an endowment may be required to be spent in a certain way or alternatively invested, with the principal to remain intact in perpetuity or for a defined time period. This allows for the donation to have an impact over a longer period of time than if it were spent all at once.
