More Giving Options

Several options below may require a Tax ID, also called an employer identification number (EIN).

St. John the Baptist’s Tax ID / EIN:  41-0732498

 

IRA Distributions/QCDs
Make a gift to St. John the Baptist from your IRA.  You can begin making Qualified Charitable Deductions (QCDs) from your IRA the year you turn 70 ½.  If you are required to take distributions from your IRA, these Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) can also be designated for our parish.  Simply direct your fund administrator or financial planner to send the amount you request to St. John the Baptist, 835 2nd Ave NW, New Brighton, MN  55112.  Some firms may allow you to have the QCD check mailed to your home address, but the check must still be payable to our parish, “St. John the Baptist.”  Be sure your name is included on the paperwork so we can send you an acknowledgement for tax purposes. For more information, consult your financial or tax advisor, or contact Mary May in the parish office at 651-633-8333, ext. 1253.
Donor Advised Funds

When you establish a Donor Advised Fund, you may designate gifts from this fund to support St. John the Baptist.  This giving vehicle is like a charitable checking account for strategic philanthropy. Consult your financial advisor to learn more, or contact Mary May in the parish office at 651-633-8333, ext. 1253 for additional information. 

Gift of Stock

Gifts of appreciated stock, bonds, or mutual funds may be donated and may also provide savings on capital gains tax.  Please contact Director of Business Operations Beth Robertson or Director of Development Mary May in the parish office at 651-633-8333 for more information.

Employer Matching Gifts

Make your donation go further! Many employers match charitable gifts made by their employees. Check with your Human Resources department to see if your employer participates in a matching gift program. If your company does match gifts, you may need to designate your contribution to St. John the Baptist School due to religious exclusions.  Please contact Mary May or Michelle Chock in the parish office if you have questions or need a receipt for your gift.

Endowment Funds
Endowment funds sustain our church, school, and cemetery in perpetuity.  The principal is invested, and the interest earned is disbursed on an annual basis, providing a continuous source of income to support our parish.  We currently have six endowment funds that are invested and stewarded by Catholic Community Foundation of Minnesota.  Contributions can be made during one’s lifetime or through a bequest.  Please contact Director of Development Mary May in the parish office at 651-633-8333 for more information.
