Transferring Stock
Making a gift of securities is easy, and you can avoid capital gains on appreciated properties, divest your portfolio of under-performing stocks and preserve your cash for other important needs while helping the thousands of clients served by Catholic Charities.
You have two options for transferring stock to Catholic Charities. If neither of these options pertains to your situation, please contact Kevin Daly, director of leadership and annual giving.
