Matching Gifts

Gifts of Securities

Donate appreciated securities for maximum tax benefit. Please contact Dana Irwin for more information.

IRA Charitable Rollover

If you’re 70½ or older, you can make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA—satisfying your required minimum distribution (RMD) while gaining tax advantages. The main advantage is a tax-free direct transfer that meets your RMD. This opportunity is available annually.

Wire Transfer

Please contact Dana Irwin for more information.

In-Kind Gifts

Gifts of personal property are accepted if they can serve a worthwhile purpose for the school, can be sold for cash, or can offset a previously planned expense. A description of the item donated is provided to the donor by the Development Department. However, the donor must determine the value of the item with their tax advisor for tax purposes. To make your donation, please use our In-Kind Donation form.
