There are a variety of ways that you can support or give to Christ Church School. While each type may offer different tax advantages, the greatest benefit of any gift is the positive impact your donation has on the students.

Outright Gifts

All outright gifts entitle the donor to an immediate charitable income tax deduction. Other important tax benefits, such as eliminating capital gains, may be available with gifts of appreciated assets such as stocks/securities.

• Special Gifts – Donations may be made in the memory of a friend or loved one or in honor of a person or special occasion. Christ Church School will be pleased to notify the family or person of your thoughtfulness.

Gifts of Publicly Traded Stocks or Securities

Gifts of appreciated securities are tax-deductible at full market value. They also alleviate the donor from long-term capital gains tax on the appreciated value of the security. This double tax savings makes it possible for a significant gift to be made at a remarkably low after-tax cost. Therefore, appreciated securities often represent the most economical way to contribute.

Bequests by Will

A bequest is the most traditional way to donate. Because a bequest is made through your will, you retain full use of your gift property during your lifetime.
