Ways to Give

List of 4 items.

• A Gift of Cash

  A gift of cash is the easiest and most common way to support St. Francis High School. There are a number of ways to make your gift: Call the Office of Institutional Advancement at (630) 668-5800 x 1220 and charge your credit card via the phone. Send a check (made out to St. Francis High School ) or credit card gift through the mail. Print and complete the Capital Campaign pledge form and mail it to:

  You may make a gift to St. Francis High School that suits your budget. You may direct us to set up a schedule for payment by check and we will bill you monthly, quarterly or semi-annually.

• A Gift of Real Estate

  Real estate can be contributed to St. Francis High School , entitling the donor to an income tax deduction based on the current, appraised value. In addition, the donor also avoids a potential capital gains tax on the property. The St. Francis High School Office of Institutional Advancement can help with this transfer. It is advisable to consult with your attorney and accountants prior to making a gift of this type.

• A Gift of Securities

  A donor that owns appreciated securities can benefit in two ways by making a gift of securities to St. Francis High School . First, they will be able to claim a charitable income tax deduction for the full value of the shares, and second, they will be able to avoid the capital gains tax that would have been due if they sold the shares. When making a gift of securities, it is important that you arrange for a direct transfer of your securities to St. Francis High School and not sell them yourself. Contact the St. Francis High School Office of Institutional Advancement for additional information.
