  Calculating the Value of Your Donation

  Once the order is made, the valuation date is the day that the shares transfer out of the account to the receiving charity's account. Assuming there is an active market for the contributed stock, the fair market value of each share or bond is the average price between the highest and lowest quoted selling prices on the valuation date.
  
  

• Endowment Gifts

  Gifts to the endowment are cash or tangible property, such as stock, bonds and real estate, that are invested to generate income for a designated purpose. An endowment gift is held in perpetuity and managed by the Board of Trustees' Finance Committee to generate investment income. Typically, 5% of the investment income is spent for the purpose designated by the donor and any income in excess of 5% is returned to the endowment to ensure it continues to grow over time.
  
  

  Endowed funds are established for a wide range of purposes, ranging from scholarships to building maintenance to faculty professional development. Endowment gifts may be directed to the general endowment fund or to one of the many endowed scholarships and funds that have been established for a specific purpose.

• Physical Plant Gifts

  Capital gifts are essential to the continued improvement and expansion of St. John's facilities. The current building on Military Road was built in 1959 through an extensive capital campaign. Over time, the main building has required important renovations and expansion, and the results of recent capital campaigns can be seen in the Kimsey Science Center, the Fitzpatrick Library and Cassidy Commons. The objective of these campaigns is to ensure St. John’s students have the best possible facilities in which to learn, develop and grow.
  
  

  As the Board of Trustees continues to develop St. John’s master plan, future capital campaigns will provide for needed growth in the school’s physical plant.
