- Gifts of Securities/Common Stock

First, you will be able to claim a charitable income tax deduction for the full value of the shares; and second, you will be able to avoid the capital gains tax that would have been due if you sold the shares. When making a gift of securities, it is important that you arrange for a transfer of your securities to Xavier Catholic Schools and not sell them yourself.

Thank you!
We are truly grateful to those who generously donated their time, talent, and treasure during the 2020-2021 school year. Every contribution, whether toward the Xavier Fund, Xavier Foundation, Booster Club, or at a Xavier fundraising event, makes the Xavier experience even better for our students.
The culture of giving at Xavier Catholic Schools is essential to ensure that our mission is upheld and that we can continue our tradition of academic excellence. Tuition dollars alone do not cover the cost of a Xavier education. Giving matters. Your gift, no matter the amount, makes a difference and shows current students that you believe in them.
