Frequently Asked Questions

List of 3 frequently asked questions.

  • How is transferring retirement assets advantageous?

    Qualified retirement plans and retirement accounts such as IRA's, 401(k)s, 403(b)s and Keoghs allow individuals to defer paying taxes on a portion of their income until assets are withdrawn during retirement years. However, after a person's death, retirement plan assets distributed to individuals are subject to income tax and may also be subject to estate tax. Retirement plan assets distributed to a charity are not subject to income or estate taxes, making it advantageous to name a charity as a beneficiary of your retirement plan assets.

  • What assets can I use to make a gift to Xavier College Preparatory?

    During your lifetime, you can make an outright gift of cash, securities or other property (real estate or personal property). You can make a gift through your will or living trust or your retirement plan or life insurance policy can be designated to Xavier College Preparatory.

  • What tax deductions will I recieve for my gift?

    Your tax benefits can vary greatly based on the type of gift, the time it is made, if it is outright or deferred, or if it has income payments. Below are some guidelines, but Xavier encourages you to discuss this with your tax advisor.
    • Outright gifts: You will receive an immediate deduction for the full value of the gift.
    • Securities: Deductible for the fair market value with no recognition of capital gains (if the gain is long-term) - a great tax benefit!
    • Personal Property: Items are fully deductible at fair market value so long as they are relevant to our mission.
    • Gifts upon death through your will or trust: Will generate an estate tax deduction.
    • Life Insurance: Will generate an estate tax deduction.
