Your support is an essential part of ensuring our students' success.

Tax-deductibe donations to Bright Futures Fund help to support our mission of offering great Catholic education to those who want it. As our organization is underwritten by the Diocese of Kansas City - St. Joseph, this allows us to see that every dollar raised in donations goes directly to our schools and our students. 

With the addition of our MOScholars Scholarship program, not only are we able to provide even more funds to families and students in need; but contributors to the program can reserve tax credits, equal to 100% of an eligible contribution. 
Please note that paying for MOScholars Tax Credits must be through either check (mailed to our offices) or via wire. Please call or email us for additional information.

IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD)

Appreciated Securities Donations
​If you can live without using withdrawals from your IRA, an IRA gift is one of the smartest ways to make a real impact. An IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is excluded from taxable income so there is no need to itemize to benefit. Although beginning in 2020, required minimum distributions (RMD) do not have to be taken until you turn 72, you still can make Qualified Charitable Distributions at 70 ½. You can give up to $100,000 from a traditional (not ROTH) IRA directly to the charity. 
​Donating shares of publicly traded appreciated stock or mutual funds can be both a meaningful gift and see the tax benefits make it less costly than a comparable cash gift. Capital gains tax is not assessed. Plus, for a security held for more than 12 months, the fair market value of the gift is deductible if you exceed the threshold for deductions. Values up to 30% of your adjusted gross income are eligible for deduction and can be carried over for up to five years.
If you are interested, please be sure to include the completed paperwork at the appropriate links above.
