Ways to Give

Your contributions are very important to Green Hedges School. Every gift, large and small, makes a significant difference to the School, and there are a number of ways to give. You can do so using the type of assets best suited to your financial circumstances, existing tax laws, and your plans for your own financial future. We recommend that you consult with your financial advisor to determine what form of contribution will best accommodate your financial situation.

CASH/CHECK:
A cash contribution may entitle you to an income tax deduction in the year of the gift, depending upon your specific tax situation.
CREDIT CARD:
Paying by VISA, MasterCard, American Express or Discover allows you to take advantage of rewards programs. If you would like to make your payments over time, we can set up a monthly or quarterly recurring gift.
APPRECIATED SECURITIES:
Appreciated securities are often preferred vehicles because they may entitle you to an income tax charitable deduction for the fair market value of the securities and, in certain situations, the avoidance of capital gains tax. Consult your tax advisor for details.
MATCHING GIFTS:
Corporate matching gifts are an easy way for you to increase the impact of your personal contribution. By taking advantage of a company’s matching gift program, you can generate an additional gift that may automatically double or triple your own contribution. You will receive full credit for both the original donation and the matching gift. A matching gift form should accompany your initial contribution.
PLANNED GIFTS:
Gifts made through bequests and estate planning help ensure Green Hedges’ future and may offer significant tax advantages and income rights for the life of the donor and/or the donor’s beneficiary. Bequests are designated for the School’s Endowment Fund, where they will provide for the long-term future of the School.

Unlike tuition payments, your gift to the Annual Fund and to the Campaign are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
