Gifts of Securities

A donor who owns appreciated securities can benefit in two ways by making a gift of securities to Rosary High School. First, they will be able to claim a charitable income tax deduction for the full value of the shares, and second, they will be able to avoid the capital gains tax that would have been due if they sold the shares.

When making a gift of securities, it is important that you arrange for a direct transfer of your securities to Rosary High School and not sell them yourself. Contact the Rosary High School business office for additional information.

The instructions to wire securities to the Rosary High School account are:
DTC Instructions
DTC #0793 (clearing firm Stifel)
Rosary High School 36-2491287
Account Number B153-7069-5280

Please contact Cindy Ybarra, Business Manager at Rosary High School, to notify her of your gift. Please include the following information:

• Donor name and address
• Name of security being transferred
• Number of shares
• Date of transfer

Once the stock is transferred to Stifel, they will notify Rosary of the transfer, sell the stock, and can send the proceeds in the form of a check on your behalf. Stifel does not charge any fees to Rosary High School. Rosary will then notify you of the completed transaction.

Thank you for considering this form of a donation.
