Making a Gift

Cash or Check
For Federal income tax purposes, cash gifts are deductible up to 50 percent of gross income. You may carry forward amounts exceeding that limit for five additional years. Checks should be made to St. Joseph’s College and can be mailed to:

Office of Institutional Advancement
245 Clinton Avenue
Brooklyn, NY  11205

Securities and Bonds
Because of the unrealized long–term capital gain, contributors often find a gift of securities to be more cost effective than a gift of cash. Electronic transfers are available for your convenience. For more information, please contact , Manager of Annual Giving, at (718) 636–6876.

Other Types of Property
We also encourage you to consider non–traditional types of gifts including real estate, art, rare books or other tangible personal property. In these instances, we recommend that you consult the Office of Institutional Advancement regarding the valuation and transfer process. For more information, please call (718) 399–8425 or e–mail us at .

Matching Gift Program
Many corporate employers, parent companies, and some foundations will match the individual charitable gifts of their employees, retirees, the spouses of employees and, in some cases, board members. Taking advantage of your company’s matching gift program is a wonderful way to increase the impact of your gift to St. Joseph’s.

For more information about your company’s matching gift program, please contact your company’s Human Resources office.
