 PLANNED GIFT:  A "Planned Gift" implies that you study your finances over a period of time and plan a gift that will benefit you and your loved ones as well as the students of Roncalli Catholic High School.  A Planned Gift, depending on its kind, provides a number of financial benefits to the donor:

  • reduction of estate, income and capital gains taxes
  • lifetime income
  • partial tax free income

It is always a good idea for you to consult with your tax and/or financial advisors before making a gift.

Ways to Give a "Planned Gift:

  • Cash:  The most straightforward of gifts made in currency or with a check, money order, credit card or on-line.  (Fully deductible on Federal Tax return, up to 50% of adjusted gross income.  Proper planning could result in full deduction.)
  • Securities:  Appreciated stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other securities.  (Tax advantages when you have held securities for more than one year and if you donate them before they are sold.)
  • Bequest:  A gift by "will" with a specific bequest (particular item), general bequest (name the dollar amount) or residuary bequest (percentage of estate).  The full amount id deductible from your taxable estate.
  • Life Insurance:  Name RCHS as the beneficiary of your life insurance policy.  (You may receive an immediate charitable contribution deduction.)
  • Financial Accounts:  Arrange to designate RCHS as a beneficiary for a CD, savings account, retirement account, etc.
  • Charitable Gift Annuity:  You irrevocably transfer an asset to Roncalli Catholic and the school makes guaranteed, fixed annual payments to you for life, a set percentage of the value of the asset.  When you pass away, the remaining value of the gift is used by Roncalli Catholic.  (Payments are fixed and guaranteed; a part of the annual payment might be tax free.)
Your tax/financial advisors are your best resources for assisting you with a "Planned Gift."
