Community Support

Austin Catholic Academy was born out of the spirit of giving, and its continued success relies on the generosity of the community.

Austin Catholic Academy is tax deductible to the full extent of the law and in the year payment is made.

Ways to Give

The Journey of a Lifetime capital campaign to establish Austin Catholic Academy provides a variety of ways for donors to financially invest in the future of our youth. The following is a list of primary means of making financial contributions:

Cash Gifts

Your generous check, payable to Austin Catholic Academy, will be an investment in a future generation of our community’s youth.

Pledges

To maximize your gift and provide you with greater flexibility, you may choose to make a multi-year gift commitment (commonly called a pledge) to the campaign. Reminders will be sent to donors in support of the payment schedule as determined by each donor.

Commemorative and Memorial Gifts

Individuals, families or businesses may choose to honor a living person or memorialize a loved one through their gift to the campaign.

Gifts-In-Kind

A number of opportunities may exist for making gifts-in-kind including both building product and/or services. While these gifts are welcomed, they must be approved and coordinated by the architect/general contractor and executive committee in advance of their acceptance.

Gifts of Securities

Gifts of appreciated securities are welcomed and may provide important tax advantages to you.

Other Gifts

Gifts of real property, including real estate and art, will be evaluated and accepted/declined on a case-by-case basis.

Matching Gifts

Please check with your employer/former employer to see if they participate in a matching gift program. You may also receive a working list of these employers by contacting the Austin Catholic Academy campaign office.

Planned or Deferred Gifts

Designating Austin Catholic Academy in your estate plan through a bequest, a trust, or other method is a wonderful way to support the future needs of our people, programs and facility. Austin Catholic Academy has an established committee of legal, tax, insurance and other professionals who will answer questions that you and your advisors may have in developing the appropriate giving vehicle for you and your family.

All donors to Austin Catholic Academy Journey of a Lifetime capital campaign will be recognized.
