Our Journey Starts With You
Generosity comes in many forms, and it’s often the best way for you to support important causes that matter the most to you in your life. When you give to McQuaid Jesuit, you help us make a difference.
McQuaid has a rich history of dedicated supporters including the school in their estate plans. Through the planned support of our alumni and friends, McQuaid can continue making a quality private school education accessible to all academically qualified students, helping to ensure that generations of young men will have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a Jesuit education.
A “planned gift” or “legacy gift” – whether in the form of a bequest, insurance policy, or other method – advances the McQuaid mission and ensures a bright future for the school. These strategic gifts enable you to support McQuaid Jesuit, secures the financial needs of your loved ones, and provides you with tax benefits.
By including McQuaid Jesuit into your will or trust, naming the school as a beneficiary of all or part of a life insurance policy or retirement assets, or taking advantage of other giving opportunities, you can preserve your assets now and support McQuaid Jesuit for years to come. Start here by learning the different gift options available to you. We will work with you to find a charitable plan that lets you provide for your family and support McQuaid Jesuit.

Ways to Make a Planned Gift
There are many types of planned gifts, all with their unique benefits for McQuaid Jesuit and for the donor. Choosing the right planned gift depends on your personal circumstances and financial goals.
Gift in Your Will or Living Trust
One flexible and popular method of building a charitable legacy is through a bequest for McQuaid in your will. In as little as one sentence, you can complete your gift. The bequest can be a specific sum or a percentage of the balance of your estate.
Gift of Retirement Plans
For many of us, a retirement plan is one of our most important assets—built on years of hard work and stewardship. The balance of an IRA, 401(k), or other retirement account can be, however, an expensive asset to pass onto our heirs.

You may own investment property that has appreciated over the years, a second home you no longer need, or a primary residence you plan to sell. Whatever the property, a planned gift of real estate can provide significant support to McQuaid Jesuit and provide you with important tax benefits.

Life insurance is an easy way to make a gift to McQuaid that can also provide tax benefits to the donor. When the original purpose for a life insurance policy no longer applies—such as educating children now grown or providing financial security for a spouse—your policy can become a meaningful way to support our work.

One of the biggest tax advantages in charitable giving continues to be the double benefit donors get when donating appreciated assets to McQuaid Jesuit instead of cash. By making a gift of appreciated securities, you can claim a charitable tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities and avoid capital gains tax on the transfer.
