| Ways To Give There are several different methods of making a contribution to St. Joseph Parish and Schools. Each method provides you, the donor, with attractive tax benefits and is suited to varying financial situations. The following will be helpful as you consider the best way to make your gift. We would be pleased to provide you with more information and assist you in making your gift. Please contact the Rectory at 781-444-0245. Gifts of Cash
The easiest and most direct way to support Saint Joseph Parish and Schools is to make your gift by cash, check, or direct deposit. Pledges
Scheduled payments over several months allow you to increase the amount of support to Saint Joseph Parish and Schools. Gifts of Stock
It is almost always more tax-wise to contribute stock rather than cash because a gift of appreciated stock normally offers a two-fold tax saving. The donor not only receives a charitable gift tax reduction for the fair market value of the security, but also avoids the capital gains tax on the appreciation. The transfer can be initiated by your broker and accomplished through an electronic transfer. Matching Gifts
Your gift can be doubled or tripled if you or your spouse's employer matches charitable donations. Please contact your human resources department to ask whether yours is a participating matching gifts company. If so, simply request a matching gift form, complete, and forward it to our Advancement Office. Remembrance Gifts
Donations made to various funds to honor or memorialize a classmate, relative or friend are a particularly meaningful way to remember someone. We pay special tribute to those chosen to be remembered by acknowledging them in the Saint Joseph Parish Newsletter and Annual Report. For help with choosing a Fund, contact our Advancement Office. |
