Other Ways to Give

Give from your IRA or Donor Advised Fund

Gifts from your IRA can reduce your taxable income, and you will not pay taxes on distributions made to Saint Bonaventure Province.

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a tax-advantaged charitable savings account. Donors receive upfront tax deductions from maximizing tax savings and expanding giving capacity.

Gifts of Stock or Other Appreciated Assets

A gift of stock is an excellent way to support Saint Bonaventure Province. If the stock has appreciated, your gift may now be worth significantly more than your initial cost, and in most cases, you will be able to avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation. It is simple to make a gift of stock to the friars.
