Show St. Bernard's your support today! 

St. Bernard's relies on the caring support of donors to fund program enhancements and improvements, as well as to bridge the difference between tuition and the actual costs to educate each child.

The help of generous benefactors and donors is needed now more than ever to help us to continue the rich tradition of providing excellent academics in a faith-filled, safe and nurturing environment.

Your financial generosity is a blessing. Thank you for your support.

Gifts from Retirement Plans
Gifting assets accumulated through Retirement Plans can be a practical way to support a 501(c)(3) charity. Tax-free IRA Rollover up to $100,000 per year is now permitted by IRS and it counts toward your “Required Minimum Distribution” (RMD) if you are over age 70 1/2. Other retirement plan gifts may also qualify for “direct gifts from the plan to the charity”. You can consider a charitable gift using all or a part of your mandatory withdrawal amount (RMD).

Life Insurance Gifts
When you gift a life insurance policy to St. Bernard Catholic School, you may be able to give a larger gift than you otherwise thought possible. You simply designate St. Bernard Catholic School as the beneficiary on a new or existing policy, which allows you to take a tax deduction for the cost of your annual premiums, among other tax advantages. Your tax consultant can advise you.

Bequest through Your Will or Living Trust
Recent changes in estate tax law may allow you to give more to charities now and in the future. After providing for your current beneficiaries, you may include a gift to St. Bernard Catholic School in a specific amount, a percent of your estate, or a certain property.

Contact the School Office, (214) 321-2897, if you are interested in additional information.
