MAKE A RECURRING GIFT, GET SJU STICKERS
We created these stickers to add some serious SJU pride to your texts -- you can use them to amp up your fellow Hawks on game day or in your family group texts!
You can send these stickers as standalone messages or drag them onto photos and messages in your thread.
You can get this app for FREE by making a recurring gift to support student financial aid.
Once you’ve downloaded the app, text out your pride with our “I GAVE” sticker and encourage your family and friends to do the same. Let’s do this together!
Gifts of Securities
Gifts of securities often confer significant tax benefits on a donor. For example, contributions of appreciated securities held for over a year are generally deductible at market value, regardless of what the donor paid for them; moreover, the capital gains tax is avoided through such a gift.
To transfer securities to the University via DTC (Depository Trust Company), please use the following instructions:
DTC #8862
Saint Joseph's University Account No. 870-04728
Saint Joseph's University Tax ID No. 23-135-2674
In order to promptly and accurately credit a security gift to you, please ensure the transfer instructions to Merrill Lynch include your name and the purpose of the gift. You can also communicate this information directly to SJU by emailing giving@sju.edu in advance of the stock gift being made.
If you or your broker requires further information or has questions, please contact Merrill Lynch's Pat Cahill (610-668-6167) or Jamie Policare (610-668-6123).
