Instead of making a cash gift, consider giving the Redemptorists property that has appreciated in value. When you sell appreciated stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or real estate, you generate a capital gains tax which is currently taxed at ordinary income tax rates. There is a dual advantage in giving appreciated property. You avoid this tax altogether, and you obtain a deduction for the full fair market appreciated value of the property. So, if you have appreciated property, don't sell it, give it to the Redemptorists.
