GIFTS OF STOCK
One of the most advantageous ways to contribute to St. Edmond’s Home is through a gift of stock. Making a gift of securities is simple and offers a number of valuable financial benefits:
- You can donate appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds
- Total value of the stock upon transfer is tax-deductible
- No obligation to pay any capital gains taxes on the appreciation
Your Broker Can Help
Your broker can assist you in making a gift of stock via a direct transfer to St. Edmond’s Home. Giving a gift of publicly traded stock that has increased in value and that you have owned for more than one year may provide greater tax benefits than giving cash. Your charitable income tax deduction is equal to the fair market value of the stock and you avoid paying the capital gains tax on any increase in the current value over the original cost of the stock. You may also save by not incurring brokerage fees because you are transferring ownership rather than selling the stock.
IN-KIND GIFTS
A Gift-In-Kind is a contribution of goods or services that can be used to advance St. Edmond’s Home’s mission, or can be readily converted to cash and may qualify as a charitable deduction for the person(s) making the gift.
MATCHING GIFTS
One way to double the impact of your gift to St. Edmond’s Home is to participate in your company’s matching gift program. The company you work for may match a percentage or all of your gift. Each company will have different requirements and procedures; your human resources department should be able to answer your questions.
UNITED WAY
A number of St. Edmond’s Home’s donors prefer to make their contributions through the United Way payroll deduction program. St. Edmond’s Home is a participating donor choice agency in the United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania; our code number is 292. Please consider this convenient and secure process in support of St. Edmond’s Home.

It can be as easy as asking your attorney to add a codicil, a simple addition, to your will. Please visit the Catholic Foundation of Greater Philadelphia to learn more about this and other ways you can continue your support into the future. Thank you and God Bless you.
