Gifts of Securities (Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds)

Donating stock and mutual fund shares is a great way to support the work of the Foundation or any of the parishes, Catholic schools or ministries which we serve. Making a gift of securities is simple and offers a number of valuable financial benefits:

• You can donate appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds
• The total value of the stock upon transfer is tax-deductible
• There is no obligation to pay any capital gains taxes on the appreciation

Instructions for Making a Gift of Securities

Matching Gifts

Many companies and corporations offer matching gifts to their employees. Matching gifts are an easy way to double the impact of your support for the Catholic Foundation or the parishes, Catholic schools and ministries we serve. Many people do not realize that their employers will match gifts made to charitable organizations. If you are unsure of whether or not your company matches donations, please contact your Human Resources Department.

To let us know that your gift has been matched, please write “Gift will be matched by [YOUR COMPANY’S NAME]” on the memo section of your check or note section of your online donation.

IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution

An IRA qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows donors to direct up to $100,000 from their traditional IRA to charity tax-free. This option is open to donors age 70 ½ and older who have a traditional IRA, and it counts toward your required minimum distribution (RMD). When given directly to charity, traditional IRA funds do not count in your adjusted gross income and are not subject to income tax. A sample letter to your IRA custodian is available, or many custodians provide the option inside a user’s portal.

Gifts of Prayer

Please continue to keep the ministry of the Catholic Foundation of North Georgia in your prayers. The Foundation cannot fulfill our mission of ensuring that the Catholic community and its ministries have the financial resources to make a difference in the lives of current and future generations without your prayerful support.
