Stock or Mutual Fund

Gifts of appreciated securities may represent a two-fold tax savings opportunity as you may avoid paying capital gains tax on the increased value of the stock and get a charitable donations for your taxes. The process is very simple and we can help to walk you through it. Please contact Abby Lumbard at alumbard@bcacs.org or by calling 269.963.4771 if you are interested in learning more.

Employer Matching Gifts, United Way, or Combined Federal Campaign (CFC)

    Matching gifts are a simple way to increase your contribution through your employer matching the money you give or the volunteer hours you donate to our schools. Denso, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and Eaton are a few employers with matching gift programs. Kellogg and State Farm are examples of organizations that match volunteer hours with a gift to our schools. United Way also allows employees to designate “Battle Creek Area Catholic Schools Foundation” as a recipient. Contact your employer for more information on their matching gift or employee giving programs.
