Memorials and Tribute Gifts

Estate and Planned Giving Memorial Tribute Gifts

If you have a loved one who has been impacted by Benedictine College Preparatory and/or Saint Gertrude High School, establishing a memorial or tribute gift is a meaningful way to honor your loved one or celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday while supporting the work of our schools’ missions. Your memorial or tribute gift will be a lasting tribute to your loved one and make a difference in the lives of those Benedictine and Saint Gertrude serve.

An example of how it works:

When Michelle's father passed away, she knew she wanted to do something that would establish a lasting legacy for him. She remembered that during his lifetime he was always praising both Benedictine College Preparatory and Saint Gertrude High School for their tireless efforts to better his community.

Michelle decided to make a gift to both Benedictine College Preparatory and Saint Gertrude High School in her father's name using appreciated securities. Not only will her father's legacy live on at both schools thanks to the gift and a commemorative plaque, but Michelle also received a federal income tax charitable deduction (because she itemizes her taxes) and eliminated capital gains tax on the securities.
