Gifts of Stock & Annuities 

To make a gift of stock, please contact Martha Sheridan in the Advancement Office at (650) 289-3355. All transfers are handled through the Archdiocese of San Francisco. 

IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions 

Individual retirement arrangement (IRA) owners age 70½ or over can transfer up to $100,000 to charity tax-free each year. 

These transfers, known as qualified charitable distributions or QCDs, offer eligible older Americans a great way to easily give to charity. And, for those who are at least 73 years old, QCDs count toward the IRA owner’s required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year.

Planned Giving donors are recognized as members of the Archbishop Riordan Legacy Society. A downloadable Letter of Intent is linked here.
