Gifts of cash are most often in the form of personal checks made payable to St. Raymond High School for Boys. Unless specified by the donor, the school will use the cash gift in the area we judge to be most in need.
Stocks, bonds, notes, or other instruments for which value can be determined in the financial market place should be made payable to the St. Raymond High School for Boys. Donors are encouraged to have a conversation with the director of institutional advancement to determine the most advantageous method of giving donations of securities. The school does have an electronic transfer number for transference of security ownership. Internal Revenue Service guidelines are followed in establishing the value of donated securities. Our policy, in most cases, is that the security is sold immediately.
If you currently have funds with Merrill Lynch, you may choose to designate all or part of your fund's growth to be donated to St. Raymond High School.
Named giving opportunities for endowed funds are available through the Office of Advancement. Generally for an endowed fund to be created, a donor must pledge an agreed upon dollar amount over a four year period.
All corporation matching gifts forms are to be sent to the Director of Advancement for execution according to rules set by the corporation or foundation for the employee match.

All of these contributions result in tax-savings for you and/or your heirs.
Do you know you can support St. Raymond fund raising initiatives by providing the school with a gift in kind?

Some examples of gifts in kind include:
Gift in Kind donations are tax-deductible within legal limits (see also Gifts of Personal Property and Equipment explained below).
Gifts of personal property (i.e., antiques, works of art, collections, etc.) are welcomed by the school with approval from the principal. The donor is responsible for securing appraisals on such property according to IRS guidelines.

News 12 The Bronx’s Student of the Week.
Whether he’s in the classroom or on the baseball diamond, Luis Castillo doesn’t let up. He finds his motivation in being a role model for his younger brother.
“Everything I do, he tries to do,” says Castillo, News 12 The Bronx’s Student of the Week.
The St. Raymond’s High School junior maintains a 95 average and is a finalist for a select FBI internship this summer. His principal, Brother Daniel Gardner, says Castillo is just a good guy.
“If someone needs something, he’s the one to help,” says Gardner. Castillo also excels at baseball and track and field.
“With his academics, he’ll get into a great school,” said assistant baseball coach Marc Deluca. “I’m expecting we’ll hear in five or six years [that] he’s doing well for himself.” Castillo says he’s starting to look at colleges close to home like Fordham University and John Jay College of Criminal Justice. He also likes Connecticut and is looking there as well.
