St. Edward School has been committed to forming hearts for Christ and minds for knowledge since our founding in 1910. Many successful city workers, doctors, lawyers, politicians, priests, religious, first responders, soldiers, and tradesmen have graduated from our hallowed halls. The foundation they each received at St. Edward School set them up for successful careers and joyful vocations. Tuition alone does not cover all the costs associated with running our award winning school. We rely on the help of donors from our alumni and other supporters to help us carry out our mission. If you can support our students and invest in their lives, please make a gift today or plan to make a gift in the future. Besides cash donations, here are some other ways you can support St. Edward School:
Gifts of Stocks
Gifting shares of stocks or mutual funds to St. Edward School allows you to avoid capitol gains taxes. Appreciated shares that have been held longer than one year offer the greatest benefit. You can duduct the charitable gift for the full market value of the shares, and you will not owe any capitol gains tax, which can be as high as 20%. St. Edward's is able to sell the shares, and as a non-profit organization, we do not need to pay taxes on the sales proceeds. Click here for more information and contact Leticia Montoya in the Rectory Office for more information. Please let Leticia know that you're making this gift for St. Edward School and if you want the gift to go toward anything specific (buildinging repairs, scholarships, etc.)
Life Insurance Beneficiary
You can make St. Edward School a beneficiary of a life insurance plan.
Bequests
These are among the easiest gifts to make. With the help of an advisor, you can include language in your Last Will & Testament or Trust specifying a gift be made to St. Edward School as part of your estate plan.
IRA Rollover and/or Beneficiary
If you are 70 1/2 or older, an IRA charitable rollover is a way you can help us continue our mission and give yourself a tax break. You can also name St. Edward School a beneficiary of your IRA.
