A form needs to be submitted to the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston and the school in order for the sale of securities as well as proper tracking of gifts of securities. Please contact the Office of Community Engagement for the current securities form. For tax purposes, the value of the gift is recorded as the average market value on the date of delivery (or if mailed, on the postmark date). If transferred through a broker, the gift’s value is determined by the date of transfer as recorded in the books of the corporation.

Planned Giving: Remembering St. Cecilia Catholic School in your will is a special and effective way to ensure that the ideals you value will be perpetuated.  It also reduces the taxable portion of your estate.

Gifts-In-Kind: Non-cash gifts of property such as computers, books, scientific equipment, art materials also make important gifts.  The fair market value of such items is deductible for income tax purposes.  A formal appraisal is required by the IRS for gifts in kind valued at over $5,000.
