thoughtful giving

       

With your generosity and prayers, we can respond to the continuing challenge of meeting the needs of Faithful Shepherd Catholic School students. Your participation is critical to our success. As you consider your gift, please consider the impact our school has made in your life, in the lives of your children, or in the lives of family and friends. Please contact your tax advisor to determine how a gift may impact your tax status.

Cash Gifts
The traditional and most common gifts to our campaign are gifts made in cash, via checks, EFT payments, and credit cards. Cash gifts to Faithful Shepherd are tax-deductible to the amount allowed by law. There are over 500 employers who will also match your gift of cash to our school; check with your company’s human resources division to determine if they provide a gift matching program. The Faithful Shepherd Catholic School Development Office also has a list of employers who match gifts. Please make checks payable to Faithful Shepherd Catholic School.

Gifts of Securities
A gift of appreciated securities or stock may provide you an opportunity to forego capital gains taxes while enjoying a charitable deduction. Gifts of securities may provide you the opportunity to make a significant contribution reduced financial outlay. Federal tax laws allow a charitable deduction for the full market value of the security on the date of your gift.

Memorial Gifts
Commemorative gifts offer you the unique opportunity to honor the memory of a loved one, friend, or family member. Please contact the Faithful Shepherd Development Office for details.
