Gifts of Cash
A majority of the gifts made to Catholic Medical Center come in the form of cash, via check or credit card. A gift of cash entitles you to a federal income tax deduction available for charitable contributions. You may deduct up to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income for gifts of cash and may carry any amount over that figure forward for up to five additional years.

Checks should be made payable to "Catholic Medical Center" and mailed to:
Attn: Resource Development Office
Catholic Medical Center
100 McGregor Street
Manchester, NH 03102

For payments by Visa, MasterCard or American Express, please call 603.663.6056 or 603.663.8011.

Gifts of Marketable Securities
A gift of appreciated securities that you have held for more than one year is frequently the most economical way to give. You will be eligible to take a federal income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift for up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income and will not have to recognize the appreciation as capital gain.


How to Give Securities or Mutual Fund Shares to Catholic Medical Center

Securities Held by You
Please send unendorsed certificates by mail, along with a letter giving your name and address, to Catholic Medical Center, Development Office, 100 McGregor Street, Manchester, NH 03102. Please call 603.663.8011 with questions.
In a separate envelope, please mail to the same address a stock power for each certificate, along with a copy of your letter. Do not complete any information on the stock power other than your signature and the date. If the certificate represents a greater number of shares than you intend to give to Catholic Medical Center, please enclose a note requesting the return of a new stock certificate with the non-gift balance.

Your bank or broker can supply you with blank stock powers, or we will be happy to send them to you. For most expedient handling, do not fill in Catholic Medical Center as transferee on either the stock certificate or the stock power, and please do not send stock certificates to a transfer agent for transfer into CMC’s name.

Please contact Catholic Medical Center with information about your mutual fund shares. The procedure for transferring shares is established by our mutual fund company. We will be able to assist you with the appropriate letters of instruction.
