Annual Giving
Ways to Give
Cash By far the easiest and most common way to support Ursuline is to
make an outright gift of cash. To donate online, please click
here.
Pledges Pledges can be made with payments on a schedule that is completed
by August 31st, the end of the fiscal year.
Appreciated Securities A gift of appreciated securities which you have
owned for at least 12 months can benefit you in two ways. You can claim
a charitable income tax deduction for the full value of the gift and you will
avoid capital gains tax on the amount of appreciation that would have
been due if you had sold the shares yourself. Donors are encouraged to consult
their brokers or advisors. Please alert the Advancement Office at
914-636-5169 of your intention to transfer stock or for any assistance you
might need. Contact Merrill Lynch, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY,
DTC #5198, Credit acct: 845-04056, The Ursuline School.
Gifts in Kind Gifts in kind afford you the opportunity to donate valuable
items, property, or professional services to The Ursuline School.
Planned gifts include wills, bequests, real estate, life insurance,
and charitable remainder trusts.
Event Underwriting in an effort to make each dollar raised at a special event count,
parents often choose to make a donation for the purpose of underwriting
an aspect of that evening’s program. Helping to pay for food, wine,
staff, printing costs, and other options exist to help maximize the
income potential of an event by offsetting the direct costs. If you are
interested in helping the school in this manner, please contact the
Office of Advancement.
Restricted Gifts generate funds designated for a
specific purpose. The Office of Advancement works with potential donors
to help apply their gift in a way that satisfies the needs of the School
and the wishes of the donor.
Matching Gifts Many employers provide matching gifts for the charitable
donations made by their employees. Please check to see if your
company, or that of your spouse, has such a program. Your gift may be doubled
by simply completing a form available from your employer and
sending it to the Advancement Office.
You may also donate any gift
in memory of or
in honor of someone
you wish to acknowledge.
