Giving and Stewardship

Gifts of Securities

Appreciated securities are an excellent asset to use in making a charitable gift. You can maximize tax savings by receiving an income tax charitable deduction for the fair market value of the appreciated securities, and you will avoid capital gains tax.

How to Notify St. Gertrude of a Gift of Securities

When making a gift of securities to St. Gertrude, please contact Dave Abele in the Business Manager's office. It is extremely important to have complete donor information (Name, address, phone number), the name and type of securities to be gifted (public, private, restricted, mutual fund, etc.), number of shares and the date you intend to make the gift.

Types of Transfers

There are several ways to transfer securities to St. Gertrude: electronic transfer or hand delivery of certificates.

Electronic Transfer (Merrill Lynch or Gradison)

The most popular and most efficient way to transfer securities to St. Gertrude is by electronic transfer. If your stock is held at a broker, notify the broker that you wish to make a gift of securities to St. Gertrude. Your broker will need written authorization from you before they can make the transfer. Be sure to tell them the name of the stock that you want to transfer, the number of shares, and where you would like your gift to be designated when it reaches St. Gertrude.
