Catholic Charities of New York welcomes gifts, stocks and other securities, and government (including municipal) debt and corporate debt through the Depository Trust Company (DTC). We have an easy mechanism to accept these gifts. For security, settlement and reduced paperwork, electronic transfer through the DTC is preferred.

In addition to providing help to those in need, a gift of an appreciated investment can have other valuable tax benefits related to capital gains, charitable deductions, and retirement income. Such gifts provide an excellent way to minimize tax liabilities and maximize your philanthropic giving.
