What to Give

• Gifts of Stocks and Bonds
  A gift of securities, including stocks or bonds, is an easy way for you to make a gift. Many Catholics in our diocese give stock to build the permanent endowments for their parishes, a particular ministry or Catholic organization, or for the good of our entire diocese. By making a gift of your appreciated securities, you can avoid paying capital gains tax that would otherwise be due if you sold these assets.
