• Recurring Gifts

  By giving a smaller donation every month, you can create a ‘win-win’ situation for yourself and the Schools of Saint Mary. Our GEM (Giver Every Month) program allows you to give twelve times per year by filling out a single form just one time. It’s a simple but effective way to contribute to our Annual Fund, so be a GEM today and join our wonderful community of monthly donors.

  Be a GEM (Giver Every Month)

  The benefits of monthly giving are compelling: donors can often give more in monthly installments than they might otherwise, and we at Saint Mary’s can rest easy knowing that support for our highly differentiated educational mission is predictable and secure.
  
  

  Having a special core group of donors who arrange to have their support of the school disbursed on a regular monthly basis will give us both the peace of mind we need to take care of our operational costs and boost our Annual Fund.

  In fine, recurrent giving is a ‘win-win’ for donors and the school alike and we are grateful to you for giving this option your generous consideration.

• Matching Gifts

  Many companies match their employees’ contributions to independent schools. You must initiate the process to double or triple your gift through your place of employment. You may need to contact the Office of Development and Alumni Relations for required tax ID information. Donors will receive credit for the full amount of the matched gift in our Annual Report on Annual Giving, but will only be acknowledged and receive tax credit for their donated amount.

• Gifts of Appreciated Securities

  A gift of  appreciated securities entitles you to a charitable deduction equal to the fair market value of the securities, and none of the appreciation in the security is taxable to the donor. When you give securities, your federal income tax deduction is limited to 30% of your adjusted gross income for the year in which you make the gift. You may, however, carry forward any excess amount as a charitable contribution for up to five years, subject to the 30% rule.

• Planned Gifts

  A life income gift allows you and/or a beneficiary to retain income from the assets donated, take a federal income tax deduction for a portion of the gift value (depending on the terms of the gift) while also eliminating the capital gains tax on gifts of appreciated securities or real estate. For more information on planned gifts please contact the Office of Development and Alumni Relations.
