'Tis the Season for Gifts
The end of the year brings opportunities for reflecting on the
blessings of the past months reflections that often
translate
into a desire to share those blessings. Gifts to educational
institutions provide immediate benefits while helping to
create a legacy of strong, moral young leaders for our
society. Your donation can combine charitable and financial
objectives, achieving your philanthropic goals while providing
tax benefits. Your attorney or tax consultant can advise on a
plan that best meets your personal needs. Gift options
include:
Cash
Gifts of check, credit card or cash in single gifts or a
pledge commitment provide simple, direct means to
contribute.
Investment Securities
Gifts of securities (stocks, bonds, etc) owned a year or more
can provide an opportunity for charitable tax deduction.
Ordinary income property
Gifts of appreciated property can provide tax advantages.
Examples include inventory and stock that does not generate
capital gains tax treatment.
Personal property
An appreciated asset, sold for less than its current value to
the School, gives the School the benefit of the full market
value, while providing opportunity for a tax deduction.

value and meaningfulness of your gift. Please consider
