As 2017 draws to a close it provides a great opportunity to show your support for the poor whom we serve. There are several ways you can make a special year-end gift to Sacred Heart Southern Missions and reap some rewards yourself. We invite you to prayerfully consider these options.
|
|
| A Gift of Stock
Your gift will be the current value of the stock, not just what you paid for it. And no capital gain tax will be owed, as long as you transfer the stock directly to us. The cash you would have used for your gift is then freed for other purposes.

|
|
| A Charitable Gift Annuity
A charitable gift annuity with Sacred Heart Southern Missions is really two gifts in one: you can support our missions while also creating a lifetime income for yourself. The payout rate is very generous and is based on your age. Income is partially tax free and an income tax deduction is also available.

| An IRA Gift to Sacred Heart Southern Missions
If you have to take a Required Minimum Distribution before the end of the year, have your plan administrator send the check directly to us. While you will not get a tax deduction for this gift, the distribution will not count as 2017 income, perhaps placing you in a lower tax bracket. Call us for more details; certain restrictions apply.
