There are multiple tax-saving strategies for you to consider when planning to invest in the important work of the CatholicVote Education Fund.

Gifts of Cash

Gifts of cash to the CatholicVote.org Education Fund are tax deductible in the year the gift is made. This includes cash money in the form of cash, credit card, personal check, or wire transfer. Make a cash, credit card, or personal check donation. Make a wire transfer donation. Please contact Donor Services at 312-201-6559 or email [email protected] for any questions concerning cash gifts.

Gifts of Securities

A gift of publicly traded securities can be one of the most advantageous ways of giving. A gift of securities held for over one year, generally generates an income tax deduction at the market value of the securities, and capital gains taxes can be avoided through such a gift.

The simplest way to transfer securities to the CatholicVote Education Fund is through a depository trust company (DTC) transfer. For more information on how to transfer securities or to make a gift of securities, please contact Kara Mone at 312-201-6559 or [email protected].

IRA Charitable Rollover

If you are 70 ½ or older and have a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you can use your required minimum distribution to support the CatholicVote Education Fund through an IRA Charitable Rollover gift. For more information on how to rollover your gift to the CatholicVote Education Fund, please contact Kara Mone at 312-201-6559 or [email protected]

Matching Gifts

A corporate matching gift is an excellent way to increase the impact of your gift. By taking advantage of your employer’s matching gift program, you can arrange for an additional gift that can potentially double or triple the impact of your investment.
