Martin of Tours Society
Legacy Society
The Annual
Fund
The
Annual Fund is the foundation on which all
gift giving is built. Your annual gift will have an immediate impact through
student scholarships, service/learning opportunities, and other high
quality, student-oriented programs. Without your annual support many students would not be able to attend Saint
Martin's. Most commonly, gifts of cash and stock are directed toward
this fund.
Cash Gifts
Gifts  of
cash through a check, credit card, electronic funds transfer (EFT) or bank
draft can be made as a one-time donation or set up to be given on a regular
basis with little or no hassle for the donor. Perhaps the easiest is a
monthly EFT or a credit card charge.
Stock Gifts
If
you own appreciated stock, this form of giving makes more sense than giving
cash! If you make a gift of stock to Saint Martin's University, you can
deduct the full appreciated value of the stock on the date given (consult
your tax advisor for certain restrictions), avoid capital gain tax, and the University owes no taxes
upon selling the stock. If you wish to remain invested in a certain
company but also wish to make a gift, it often makes sense to give the
appreciated shares then replace those shares by buying them at the new
market rate. You will have made a substantial gift, have saved capital
gain tax, and still own the stock that you desire!
