Year End Giving
- Stocks. Gifts of shares of stock held more than 1 year allow a parishioner to avoid paying the Federal and Illinois capital gains taxes on the built in gains. In essence, it is like taking the tax dollars you would have paid on the gains if you had sold the stock, and directing those dollars directly to Holy Family rather than the IRS or State of Illinois.
- Mutual Funds. Similar to stocks, gift of mutual funds shares can also “redirect” would-be tax dollars to Holy Family.
- Retirement Accounts. A special tax benefit is in effect through December 31, 2007. Parishioners over 70 ½ years of age can make contributions to Holy Family directly from their IRAs, up to $100,000, and avoid the taxes that would otherwise be paid on the IRA withdrawal. Special rules must be followed to qualify. Please see your financial planner or call for more details.
- Trusts. By establishing a Charitable Lead Trust or Charitable Remainder Trust, you can diversify a block of stock or mutual funds without paying capital gains taxes and also receive a current income tax deduction on the value of the partial gift. The gift portion to Holy Family must be valued at least 10% of the transaction with the Charitable Trust you establish.
