Cash

Some of the most common ways to make a gift are to write a check, transfer shares of appreciated securities, or donate online.

Stocks & Bonds

Retirement Assets

A gift of your retirement assets, such as an employee retirement plan, IRA, or tax-sheltered annuity, is an excellent way to make a gift. A gift of these assets can shield your heirs from taxes while funding St. Albans's future.

Life Insurance

Life insurance is a valuable asset for making a charitable gift. It can be made without diminishing other investments or assets earmarked for family members.

Real Estate

A gift of real estate allows you to preserve your cash assets, receive tax and income advantages and make a significant charitable gift to St. Albans.

Personal Property

A gift of artwork, coins, antiques, or other personal property can be an excellent way to support St. Albans.
