- you can support various charitable intentions both Catholic and non-Catholic in our community and beyond.
- you can make charitable gifts of stock and avoid capital gains tax.
- significant tax advantages and considerably less complexity because it exists in the context of a community foundation.
- reduced administrative tasks associated with charitable giving.
