Electronic Funds Transfer (EFTs)

Easy to Use!

Saves Time and Money!

Here's how it works. With your permission, a monthly sponsorship contribution will automatically be deducted from your checking account and deposited with the St. Lawrence Center's bank on the date you request.

EFTs make contributing easy for you, and helps the Center greatly. In addition to providing a reliable and predictable stream of revenue, the Center will also realize significant savings by avoiding costs such as postage, envelopes and the staff time involved with producing monthly reminders. We will be able to direct these savings to our student programs, where the money will be used most effectively.

For more information on the EFT program, please contact John Flynn at the St. Lawrence Development Office, 785-843-0357.

Donate Your Used Car to the St. Lawrence Center!

The benefits of the program are a two-way street. The St. Lawrence Center realizes cash after the sale of the vehicle to support our programs for the students at KU. The donor receives a tax deduction for the fair market value of the vehicle and avoids the hassle of trying to sell a used vehicle. Everyone wins!

For more information, please contact John Flynn in the Development office at 785-843-0357.

Gifts of Appreciated Securities

Appreciated stock makes an excellent charitable gift because you receive a double tax benefit. First, you can deduct the fair market value of the stock (if owned more than one year) as an itemized deduction on your income tax return. In addition, you also avoid all capital gains taxes on the appreciation of the stock during the time you held it. Your deduction is limited to 30% of your adjusted gross income, but any excess can be carried forward for five additional tax years.* For more information contact John Flynn at [email protected] or 785-843-0357.

Note: Do not instruct your broker to sell your securities! They must be transferred to the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center's account prior to sale to avoid capital gains tax.
