Ways of Giving

Since opening in 2009, St. Dominic Savio Catholic High School has been committed to its mission of preparing young men and women to become faith-filled, visionary, and inspirational leaders in service to the Church and the world.  To strengthen this commitment, we rely on philanthropic support from friends and families to help us accomplish our mission.

St. Dominic Savio is blessed to have a multitude of benefactors who support the school in a variety of ways.  Since tuition only partially covers regular operating expenses, fundraising is vitally important in providing much-needed supplemental revenue.  We hope that friends and families will consider St. Dominic Savio among their favorite philanthropic priorities.  As you read the following pages, you will learn about our giving programs, how they fulfill essential needs, and how you can make an impact on the lives of current and future students.

gifts of cash

Gifts of cash are tax-deductible in the year the gift is made. The quickest and easiest way to make your gift is online via credit card. Or mail a check made out to St. Dominic Savio:

gifts of securities

Gifts of stocks, bonds, or other securities can be one of the most advantageous ways of giving. Gifts of appreciated stocks, bonds, or other securities will receive a tax deduction based on the value of the security on the date of the gift. With long-term appreciated securities (those held longer than 12 months), you will receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair-market value of your gift and avoid paying any capital gains tax on the appreciation. Please complete our Stock transfer form to process your stock donation. All stock transactions are processed through the Diocese of Austin. 

matching gifts

Increase the impact of your gift. Many employers match charitable contributions made by their employees, allowing you to double or even triple your gift to St. Dominic Savio.  Please search our matching gifts database to see if your company offers this benefit and to access the correct forms.

Planned Giving

Remember St. Dominic Savio in your planned giving-the lives touched here, and the potential they hold can be your legacy. Planned Giving creates a legacy that will extend your generosity into the future, confident that the values and assets you developed during your lifetime are passed on according to your wishes. With little or no current financial impact on you, this caring act may result in the largest and most lasting gift you ever make to the school. A misconception is that gift planning is only for the "wealthy." The truth is, people of all income levels can make a difference through gift planning. Many families have enjoyed increased income and generous tax savings by using various types of planned gifts. There are many possibilities to consider, including a bequest, one of the several forms of charitable trusts, or a gift of life insurance.

For all planned giving strategies, we encourage you to consult with your financial advisor, attorney, and a St. Dominic Savio Catholic High School representative, when considering a planned gift. The lives that are touched at St. Dominic Savio Catholic High School, and the potential they hold, can be your legacy. Learn more about planned giving strategies or you may contact the Advancement Office at 512-244-4861.
