A matching gift by your company increases your generosity to Xavier Catholic Schools by adding the matching amount to your gift at no additional expense to you. Contact your Human Resources Department and inquire about your company's matching employee donations policy. Please be sure to choose St. Francis Xavier Catholic School System as the recipient of your gift. All supporting documentation should be sent to the Advancement Office so your gift can be acknowledged.

You can benefit in two ways by making a gift of appreciated securities/common stock to Xavier Catholic Schools. First, you will be able to claim a charitable income tax deduction for the full value of the shares; and second, you will be able to avoid the capital gains tax that would have been due if you sold the shares. When making a gift of securities, it is important that you arrange for a transfer of your securities to Xavier Catholic Schools and not sell them yourself. Please contact Dave Romenesko, VP of Advancement, or call 920-735-9380 to help facilitate the transfer.
