When you make a planned gift that supports St. Nicholas Catholic Church, you ensure that the mission of our parish is fulfilled. Your planned gift has a lasting impact on our Church and on our world.
 
If you would like more information or have already included St. Nicholas Catholic Church in your estate plans, please contact the parish office.  Knowledge of your future gift helps us in our financial planning and ensures that your gift is properly designated when it is received.

Thank you for prayerfully considering St. Nicholas in your charitable giving.

GIFTS OF STOCK
When making gifts of stock, it is preferable to transfer securities electronically from your brokerage firm to St. Nicholas’s account at Edward Jones. 
 
Please contact the parish office for more information and to ensure a smooth transfer of funds.

IRA DIRECT TRANSFER
Qualified Charitable Distributions are when you make a direct transfer from your IRA to St. Nicholas. This won’t increase your adjusted gross income as this transfer is not actually distributed to you. This is especially beneficial if you don’t itemize deductions on your tax return. St. Nicholas is listed at Fidelity Charitable.

COMPANY MATCHING DONATION
Make your donation go further! Many employers match charitable gifts made by their employees. Check with your Human Resources department to see if your employer participates in a matching gift program. If your company does match gifts, please submit a completed matching gift form provided by your company.
