Below are several examples of ways you can give a gift to Manhattan Catholic Schools. The Director of Development, is available to discuss with you and your advisors how you may best
support Manhattan Catholic Schools, regardless of the size or nature of your gift.
You can reach the Development Director by calling (785) 565-5060.
Gifts of Cash
The simplest and most common way to give. Checks should be made payable to
Manhattan Catholic Schools. Your cash gift may be directed to the Annual Giving program or designated for the Monsignor Luckey Endowment Fund.
Gifts of Real Estate
The outright gift of a parcel of appreciated land or other real estate is a method
that may offer considerable tax saving opportunities for donors. To ensure that you are able to maximize your tax savings opportunities, it is highly recommended that you consult with your financial advisor in advance of the gift.
Gifts of Securities
Gifts of long-term appreciated stocks or bonds entitle a contributor to two income tax benefits: 1) the avoidance of capital gains, and 2) the contributor may use
the securities' fair market value on the date of the gift for the income tax charitable deduction.
Gifts of stocks, bonds and mutual funds are encouraged as these types of gifts often present special tax saving opportunities for donors. To ensure that you are able
to maximize your tax savings opportunities, it is highly recommended that you consult with your financial advisor in advance of the gift.
Gifts of Life Insurance
When
properly arranged, life insurance offers an attractive way to benefit MCS. Persons wishing to support Manhattan Catholic Schools through a gift of life insurance will find numerous advantages.
Bequests
Leave your legacy by making a gift in your will to friends, family and charities. A
bequest is one of the simplest ways to remember those you care about most. All bequests should be made to the MCS Monsignor Luckey Endowment Fund. In this way, MCS will be able to consider these expectancies in its long range planning for gift support.
Testamentary Charitable Remainder Gift
A charitable bequest can also be arranged to provide income for a selected beneficiary (i.e., nephew, niece, friend) by directing that
the bequest be used
to establish a charitable remainder annuity trust, a unitrust or a charitable gift annuity. The named beneficiary could receive income from the trust for life, or for a specified number of years. When the trust is terminated, the principal will pass to the MCS Monsignor Luckey Endowment Fund. In addition to the personal satisfaction of making a philanthropic gift, the estate will receive a charitable tax deduction, reducing the estate settlement costs.
Please contact the Director of Development, at (785) 565-5060 to discuss your gift and any special arrangments you wish to make.
Thank you for considering a gift to Manhattan Catholic Schools!
