Gifts of Stock
Gifts of stock are an excellent way to make a gift to Saint Andrew’s. In many cases, donors are able to donate a stock that has appreciated greatly in value, thereby making a substantial gift to the school, yet not incurring a substantial tax debt. Donors are entitled to an income tax charitable deduction for the full fair market value of appreciated securities (as long as they have been held for at least one year). Also, no capital gains tax is paid on the transfer of the stock.

Gifts of Property
Call the Development Office at 408.867.3785, ext. 207 if you are considering donating a gift of property. Gifts of real estate may include developed or undeveloped property, and may need to be reviewed by Saint Andrew’s prior to acceptance.
