You might find that you can make a larger gift through appreciated stocks and other securities than you can with a gift of cash. If you donate shares 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, while you also avoid capital gains tax.

Instructions for Stock Transfers
To initiate a transfer of securities held by a brokerage firm or commercial bank, please notify your broker or bank that you intend to transfer securities to the college. This can often be done online.

IMPORTANT: Please contact the Collegewide Development Office when you intend to transfer securities, so that we might complete the sale and credit you properly for your gift. Please let us know the number and type of shares and include any instructions for how you would like your gift to be used (Annual Fund, student support, endowment, etc.) You can reach us at development(at)sjc.edu or 505-984-6109.

Stock Valuation for Donors: Donors may choose one of several methods to value their stock gift for IRS tax purposes. Please consult with your tax advisor.

Stock Valuation for St. John’s College: The Business Office calculates the value of the gift on the date that the stock is transferred to the college. The gift is valued for recognition purposes at the midpoint between the high and low stock market price on that date.

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.

A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) can further your philanthropic goals and help maximize the tax benefits of giving. If you are age 70½ or older and have a traditional IRA, consider donating all or part of your annual required minimum distribution to St. John’s. A QCD allows you to make a charitable gift directly from your IRA without having to realize the distribution as taxable income.

To initiate a qualifying gift, you will need to contact your IRA administrator and provide the following information about St. John’s:

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
Mailing address: 1160 Camino de Cruz Blanca, Santa Fe, NM 87505
Federal Tax ID: 85-0162247

Have questions? Email us at development(at)sjc.edu or call 505-984-6109, and we will be happy to walk you through the steps. You can also read more about the benefits of a QCD and other tax-advantaged gifts on our gift planning page. This is not intended as tax advice. Please consult your financial or tax advisor.

To initiate a wire transfer, please notify your broker or bank that you intend to wire cash electronically to the college.

IMPORTANT: Please contact the Collegewide Development Office when you intend to make your gift (or ask your broker to do so) so that we might credit you properly for your gift. You can reach us at development(at)sjc.edu or 505-984-6109.

Planned Giving is one of the most important ways to leave a lasting legacy and provide a secure future for St. John’s College.

The easiest and most straightforward way to make a legacy gift to St. John’s is through a bequest, which allows you to support the college without drawing from your current income. Other options that benefit both you and St. John’s include charitable gift annuities, life insurance policies, and retirement accounts.
