Your generosity can provide scholarships, support extracurricular activities or fund technology upgrades, ensuring that future students benefit from a well-rounded, modern education. In addition, by making a planned gift you would help ensure that the school can continue offering a value-driven educational experience to students for generations to come.

• Building a Legacy

  Including the school in your estate plans is a powerful way to create a legacy of philanthropy. Your gift can honor your connection to the school, whether as an alumnus, parent or community member. It can also be a way to ensure that your values are passed on to the next generation.

• Flexible Giving Options

  Planned gifts can be tailored to your financial situation. You don’t have to give a large amount outright; instead, you can donate a percentage of your estate, a specific asset, or even make the school a beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance policy. These options allow you to balance your financial needs with your desire to give back.

• Tax Benefits

  Planned gifts can also offer significant tax advantages. Gifts through wills, trusts or other planned giving vehicles can reduce the estate taxes your heirs may face, while ensuring that a portion of your assets are directed to a cause you care about.

• Memorialize a Loved One
