Securities

The gift of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other securities is a popular way to avoid capital gains tax and allow you to use "paper profits" to help reduce taxes. If the value of securities you would like to give is less than the original cost, it is usually best to sell them and donate the cash proceeds. You may then be able to claim tax benefits for both the capital loss and the charitable gift, effectively deducting more than the current value of the asset.


	Our grounds and shrines provide a park-like and peaceful atmosphere for people when walking our grounds. The statue of St. Francis of Assisi and Gubbio the Wolf (pictured above left) is just one of the many shrines on campus.
