Ways To Give
FIRST AND FOREMOST: PRAY FOR GOD’S BLESSING ON OUR CAMPAIGN.
In 2017, St. Peter’s celebrated our 100th anniversary and embarked on a capital campaign. This campaign is an extraordinary opportunity and a great challenge which will require the support of all those in the St. Peter’s family committed to providing quality Catholic education to families on Staten Island for generations to come. More important than the financial resources raised, our goal remains above all to encourage and support the positive development of our children, families and community as a whole.
The goal of this campaign is to raise a minimum of $2.5 million to fund an endowment for St. Peter’s Boys High School, which will be used for scholarships and sponsorships. Our true challenge is that the entire amount must be raised from supporters of St. Peter’s past, present and future.
There are many ways you can support our campaign, including gifts of cash, pledges, securities and estate giving. Your gift to our Centennial campaign may be made over a five-year period, enabling you to take advantage of greater flexibility in planning. It is also possible to plan your gift and utilize life income trust agreements which will allow you to maximize your gift, while maintaining or increasing your annual income, enjoying a tax deduction and possibly receiving favorable treatment of capital gains.
If you are interested in supporting St. Peter’s and learning more about our once-in-a-lifetime campaign, please call the school and request an appointment with Mr. Fodera. We appreciate your interest in supporting our beloved school.
Thank you for your consideration and continued support for St. Peter’s Boys High School.
Ways to Give
Cash
Cash contributions allow the donor to receive the tax benefits of a gift in the year it is made. Outright contributions of cash are the most direct and immediate way of providing support.
Pledges
The majority of commitments are made as pledges that can be paid over as many as five years. Pledges are preferable to many because they permit families to consider larger commitments. Pledges are the most popular form of commitment as they allow best management of gifts.
Gift Of securities
Gifts of appreciated securities or other marketable assets are welcome. A gift of appreciated securities from a publicly traded company may provide significant tax advantages when compared to gifts of cash. The donor may deduct the current “fair market” value of the donated securities as a charitable gift and be exempt from the capital gains tax on the appreciation. Unless by other arrangement, marketable assets will be liquidated to provide the most immediate benefit of your gift.
