Matching Donations

Stock and Securities
By donating appreciated stocks or mutual funds, you may qualify for a charitable tax deduction based on the current market value—while also avoiding capital gains taxes on the asset’s increased value. To receive these benefits, deductions must be itemized.
Planned Giving
LaSalle School’s planned giving program provides donors with a variety of options tailored to meet different financial goals and personal circumstances.
Planned giving opportunities include:
Outright gifts, made during your lifetime or through provisions in your will or living trust.
Retirement plan beneficiary designations, such as naming LaSalle as a beneficiary of your IRA or retirement account. This option may offer both income and estate tax advantages. If you are 70½ or older, you may also make tax-free charitable distributions directly from your IRA—up to $100,000 annually—which are excluded from taxable income.
Other legacy giving options, including life insurance policies, charitable gift annuities (CGAs), and charitable remainder trusts (CRTs), which can be tailored to fit your philanthropic and financial planning goals.
