Giving Stocks or Bonds
Your broker can assist you in making a gift of securities, including stock and mutual fund shares, through a depository trust company (DTC) transfer to the CatholicVote Education Fund. A gift of securities can be one of the most advantageous ways of giving. Giving securities held for over one year generally generates an income-tax deduction for the market value of the securities, and capital gains taxes can be avoided through such a gift.
If you would like to make a gift of securities, please provide your broker with the following information:
Receiving Firm Name: Morgan Stanley
Receiving Account Title: Fidelis Center for Law & Policy
Receiving Firm DTC Number: 0015
Receiving Account Number: 496-109436-007
IMPORTANT: Please have your broker put your name in the “back office trailer” so that we know the gift is from you and can track it for tax purposes.
If you have general questions about making a gift of securities, please contact Kara Mone, CatholicVote, (312) 201-6559 or kara@catholicvote.org.
IRA Transfer
IRA owners who are at least age 70 1/2 can make a tax-free charitable contribution from their IRA to the CatholicVote Education Fund. This is known as a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). Amounts distributed as a QCD—up to $100,000 per year—can be counted toward satisfying your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year. A QCD does not appear in your adjusted gross income (AGI), effectively reducing your taxable income.
To make a contribution from your IRA to the CatholicVote Education Fund, please contact the custodian for your IRA. Typically, you will need to provide your custodian with the following information. Qualified Charity Name: Fidelis Center for Law & Policy
Qualified Charity Address: P.O. Box 2709, Chicago, IL 60690
If you have general questions about making a contribution from your IRA, please contact Kara Mone, CatholicVote,(312) 201-6559 or kara@catholicvote.org.
