The Foundation offers several ways to make a gift in support of its mission and priority needs for both interpretation and preservation — each responsive to a donor’s particular circumstances and each with distinct tax advantages. Click here to visit the Cathedral Foundation Website.

Outright Gift

Donors may choose to make an outright gift of either cash or securities as the most direct way to give.  A gift of appreciated securities, whether publicly traded or from a private company, may provide greater tax advantages than gifts of cash.  The donor can deduct the current fair market value as a charitable gift, avoiding capital gains tax on the appreciation.

Multi-Year Pledge

Donors may choose to pledge to the Cathedral Foundation. Pledges can be fulfilled over a period of one to five years.

Corporate Matching Gift

Donors can increase support to the campaign through corporate matching gifts programs. You (and/or your spouse) are encouraged to contact your employer/former employer to inquire about a matching gifts program.

Planned Gift

There are a variety of planned giving options enabling donors to fulfill their commitment or even consider a larger gift level for the Cathedral. Options promoted include: gifts of stock, real or other personal property, life insurance, annuities, lead and remainder trusts and simple bequests.

Memorial or Tribute Gifts

Any gift may be designated in memory or in honor of a friend or loved one.  The family of the deceased, or person honored, will be notified of your tribute.  The amount of the gift is not mentioned.
