WAYS TO GIVE
Gifts of Cash
Your gift of cash in the form of a check or credit card contribution provides immediate tax savings for you and instant revenue for our school.
Memorial / Honor Gifts
St. Joseph gladly accepts honors and memorial gifts for all occasions. Notification cards are mailed as requested
Stock Donations
Gifts of stock and bonds can be one of the most advantageous ways of giving. In the form of Incentive Stock Options or regular investment holdings, you may deduct the full fair market value of the stock as a charitable contribution, while bypassing all capital gains taxes (to qualify you must own your stock for more than one year). Securities may be donated by transferring them directly to St. Joseph School through Smith Barney (601-321-7800) or Morgan Keegan (601-368-2200).
Real Estate
Gifts of property are carefully considered and, if acceptable, will be receipted at fair market value after an appraisal is conducted.
Life Insurance
By naming St. Joseph Catholic School as the beneficiary or co-beneficiary of a new or existing policy, you can receive income tax and/or estate tax benefits while supporting St. Joseph.
Bequests
Remembering St. Joseph Catholic School in your will is the ultimate demonstration of commitment to this institution and the values it represents. Wills can specify the donation of any of the above mentioned gifts and can reduce the taxable portion of your estate.
