Most gifts to Episcopal are cash contributions for which donors receive tax benefits if they itemize deductions.
Give online with a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express).
Make a recurring gift by choosing that option on the online donation pages.
You can pledge your gift online to support Episcopal at https//esj.org/donate-now/. Pledges to The Episcopal Fund must be fulfilled by June 30, 2026. Pledge reminders will be mailed in December, March, and May.
Donors may realize substantial tax savings by transferring appreciated stock to the school prior to the sale. Capital gains on the amount of appreciation may be avoided, and the donor receives a tax deduction based on the fair market value of the stock on the date the stock is transferred. To transfer stock, please notify Ryan Riggs, Director of Major Gifts riggsr@esj.org or Franklin Beard at franklin.beard@ubs.com to notify them of the pending transfer.
Please provide the following when transferring stock:
Description of security
Number of shares
Designation of gift (if any)
Electronic Transfer: UBS Financial Services
DTC #0221
For the benefit of Episcopal School of Jacksonville
Account Number: V5 71786

If you are 70½ or older, you can transfer all or part of your required minimum distribution (up to $100,000) to Episcopal tax free, as the transfer is not the same as if you had received it as income. Up to $100,000 can count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RDA). These transfers can be used to pay off a pledge or make an outright gift.
