Donating Investments or Other Marketable Assets
Donating appreciated stock is a powerful way to support St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church while also making a smart financial move. If you hold stocks or other securities that have increased in value over time, gifting them directly to the church may allow you to avoid capital gains taxes and receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the donation.
This means your gift can go further — benefiting both you and the mission of St. Thomas the Apostle.
When you donate appreciated stock rather than selling it, you can potentially reduce your tax burden while still making a meaningful contribution to your faith community. These gifts help fund vital parish ministries, outreach efforts, worship services, and more — supporting the spiritual growth of our community year-round.
The process is straightforward, and we’re here to help every step of the way.

Thank you for considering this unique way to support the mission and ministries of St. Thomas the Apostle. Your generosity helps us grow as a community of faith and service.
