You may donate your property during your lifetime through your will. You will receive a tax receipt equivalent to the market value of these gifts, as estimated by qualified appraisers.

• When investments are converted into cash, the funds are subject to capital gains tax. By making a gift of your listed securities to Saint Paul University, you will pay no capital gains tax.
• Gifts of securities can be deferred if your gift surpasses your annual limit, and be used in the next five years.
• Gifts of securities can help reduce estate taxes in the year of your death, allowing your beneficiaries to receive more upon inheriting.
• Gifts of securities help to reduce the amount of income tax you pay.
