One of the most tax-smart ways to support St. John’s is by donating stock, cryptocurrency, and other investments that have grown over time. If you donate assets that you have owned for more than one year, you will generally receive a tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the securities and avoid capital gains tax. You might even find that you can make a larger gift with these assets than with a gift of cash,

St. John’s has partnered with FreeWill to offer secure online tools that make it easier than ever to donate appreciated securities to the college.

You can also work directly with your broker by providing them with the information listed below and instructing them to transfer your shares to St. John’s College as a charitable gift.

This enables our Advancement Team to identify your gift and promptly put it to work.

How Do Donor-Advised Funds Work?

Donor-Advised Funds streamline the giving process and make it easier to support the causes you care about, including St. John’s. You begin by setting up a fund through a sponsoring organization—often a community foundation, public charity, or investment firm. Many popular brokerages, such as Charles Schwab, Vanguard, and Fidelity, offer Donor-Advised Funds. You then make contributions of cash, stock, or other assets to your Donor-Advised Fund and take an immediate charitable deduction.

Once your DAF is established, you can recommend grants to St. John’s College and may even be able to direct your support to specific priorities. Although you do not receive an additional tax deduction from these grants, the contributions to your DAF are generally deductible, and any investment growth is usually tax-free.

This is not intended as tax advice. Please consult your tax or financial advisor.

If you are age 70 ½ or older, a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is a tax-efficient way to make gifts from your individual retirement account (IRA). QCDs can count towards your required minimum distribution for the year, but the funds must be transferred directly to St. John’s College from your IRA plan administrator.

You can now make your QCD gift online in a matter of minutes with secure online tools offered by our trusted partner, Freewill.

If you prefer to work personally with your plan administrator, please let them know you wish to make a qualified charitable distribution to St. John’s College and provide them with the following information:

Annapolis:

Legal name: St. John’s College
Mailing address: 60 College Avenue, Annapolis, MD 21401
Federal Tax ID: 52-0591421

Santa Fe:

Legal name: St. John’s College
