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 the individual would be required to pay 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. Please contact the Office of Advancement at (973) 627-6674 for specific directions when making a gift of securities.
