In addition, you may make a gift to Morris Catholic in the
following ways:
Matching Gifts:
Many companies have a matching gift policy that may double (or
more) a contribution made to Morris Catholic, made by an employee of the company.
Visit your human resources office to see if your company matches gifts.
Securities:
Appreciated securities can provide an attractive means of giving.
Through this type of gift, an individual can receive a charitable income tax
deduction and avoid paying tax on the "capital gains" that would be
due if the stocks were sold. A gift of securities may be made by transferring
the stock to Morris Catholic. It should not be sold to a broker; it must be
transferred, which is a simple process.
Life Insurance:
Morris Catholic may be named as the beneficiary of an insurance
policy. If the ownership of the
policy is transferred to the School, there may be attractive tax advantages.
Bequest:
Remembering Morris Catholic in your will or
trust is a special way to ensure the continued excellence of Catholic education
for future generations. A donor can indicate a certain item, an amount, or a
percentage (the residue) of their estate - the remainder after all other heirs
have been provided for.
Life Income Gift:
There are many ways that an individual can
make a gift to Morris Catholic and receive income for life in return. Through
one of a number of planned gift options, the donor can place cash, securities,
or other assets in trust, for example, and continue to receive income from the
trust. Upon the donor's death or that of a beneficiary, or at some
pre-determined time, the trust terminates and the fund is transferred to Morris
Catholic. These life-income gifts often provide income as well as capital gains
and/or estate tax benefits.
Real Estate and Tangible Personal
Property:
An individual may donate real estate, artwork,
a coin collection, jewelry or other tangible personal property and receive tax
benefits. It may be something that the School can use or something that can be
liquidated to provide funds for other purposes.
Tax Implications:
Donors should consult with tax advisors
concerning the applicable federal and state tax law.
In-Kind Donations:
Morris Catholic always welcomes in-kind gifts and services. Contact the Advancement Office for information about the current needs of the School.
Upholding Morris Catholic’s excellence of
Catholic education requires the ongoing support from parents, alum and friends
every year. For more information,
you are welcome to contact our Office for Institutional Advancement, at (973) 627-6674, ext. 136.
