Giving stock or a mutual fund that you have owned for at least a year that has increased in value can be a very smart way to support the mission of St. Theresa’s. Much of the same income tax savings may be available to you for donating stock as they are for writing a check, but giving your appreciated stock may also allow you to eliminate the capital gains taxes that would be due if you sold it yourself. St. Theresa’s will get the full value of your stock, and you may also be entitled to a federal income tax charitable deduction based on the stock’s value on the date transferred.
Please call us before making your gift. The instructions to share with your broker are below:
Including St. Theresa Parish in your Will can lower the taxable amount of your estate and, at the same time, provide support to the parish. Should you decided to include the parish in your Will, please use the following codicil and forward it to your attorney: “I bequeath the sum of $ ______ or ____ percentage of the residual of my estate to St. Theresa Catholic Church, located at 4311 Small Drive, Austin, TX 78731, for the benefit of St. Theresa Catholic Church.”
We encourage you to remember St. Theresa Catholic Church in your will. Thank you.
If you are 70.5 years or older, you may make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA to St. Theresa parish without paying federal income tax on those funds. The funds transferred will count toward your required minimum distribution. These funds transferred to charity do not qualify for a charitable deduction, but do become exempted from taxable income. Your disbursement must come directly from the administrator of your IRA to the parish. You cannot receive the funds first. Please contact the administrator of your IRA with any tax or account-specific questions.
