There are many ways to make a donation to the Share the Vision Capital Campaign for St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. Our Development office staff is familiar with the various types of charitable gifts listed here and is available to assist you. Because individual circumstances are different, we also recommend you talk to your tax advisor and/or attorney. CashA cash gift is the most common and easiest way to give. Cash gifts include checks, credit cards, electronic funds transfers (EFTs) and the like. [ Back to Top ]
Memorials and TributesMake your cash gift even more special by creating a memorial or tribute to a loved one or friend. If you wish, we will send a letter notifying the person or family that you are remembering/honoring them with a gift. Simply include this information on your mail-in gift form. [ Back to Top ]
Family GiftCelebrate your family's STVM history with one gift from all of you. Combine each member's donation and present it to STVM on behalf of your entire family. [ Back to Top ]
Matching GiftsMake your gift count — twice. Many companies generously match their employee's charitable contributions, so check with your company to determine if STVM qualifies for a match. This benefit may also be offered to retirees, board members and employees' spouses. [ Back to Top ]

Planned GivingBequest: By remembering STVM in your will or living trust, you can make a significant impact on children that lasts well beyond your lifetime. Bequests qualify for charitable estate tax deductions. IRA/Retirement Plan Beneficiary: Make STVM a beneficiary of an IRA or other retirement account. Simply add STVM to your list of beneficiaries and assign a percentage. Life Insurance: Like IRAs or other retirement plans, you can make STVM a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, in particular, policies that no longer are needed for your family's benefit. In this case, you would make STVM an irrevocable beneficiary to "replace" charitable gifts you make in your estate. Or, you may choose to purchase a new policy with STVM as the beneficiary. For more information contact your insurance provider or the STVM Development Office. Other Options: There are other planned giving options available, such as charitable gift annuities, charitable lead trusts and charitable remainder trusts. We recommend you seek the advice of your tax advisor and/or attorney regarding these and other planned giving options.
