When Sarah's father passed away, she knew she wanted to do something that would establish a lasting legacy for him. He was an ardent supporter of Catholic education and would be eternally grateful to be able to continue to support West Catholic in perpetuity.
Sarah decided to make a gift to West Catholic in her father's name using appreciated securities. Not only will her father's legacy live on at West Catholic thanks to the gift and a commemorative plaque, but Sarah also received a federal income tax charitable deduction (because she itemizes her taxes) and eliminated capital gains tax on the securities.
