Ways to Give

The Roeper School is grateful for your support. Your gifts reflect your belief in our mission and core values. We are a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit, organization, so your contributions are tax deductible to the extent of the law. There are a number of ways to contribute by mail or phone, with cash, check or credit card.

Securities

You may achieve tax savings by making your gift via stocks or other capital assets. If you donate appreciated, marketable securities that you have owned for more than one year and one day, you may receive a charitable deduction for the full market value on the date of the transfer. Neither you nor The Roeper School would be required to pay capital gains tax on this type of gift. If you have securities that have decreased in value, you may be able to take a deductible loss when you sell the stocks and donate the proceeds.* For more information, please contact Denita Banks-Sims, Director of Development and Publications at denita.banks-sims@roeper.org.

Matching Gifts

Many corporations will match philanthropic donations made by their employees. This is a great way to maximize your gift. You could possibly double or even triple your gift with a corporate match. Simply send us the appropriate paperwork from your employer’s human resources or personnel department, and your gift to Brentwood School will be matched according to your company's guidelines. If you are not sure if your company has a matching gift program, please go to www.matchinggifts.com/roeper.

Gifts-In-Kind

We are pleased to receive gifts of goods or services that may provide a budgetary savings to the school or fulfill a particular departmental need. The school will provide a letter acknowledging receipt of an in-kind gift. Substantiation of the value is provided by the donor. We recommend you consult your tax advisor to explore the tax benefits specific to such a gift. For more information, please contact Julie Gillikin, Gifts Manager, at julie.gillikin@roeper.org.

Gifts Through Estate Planning

Donors may wish to consider giving through such means as a will, life insurance, a bequest, or a charitable trust. These types of gifts have a noble destination--to help secure the future of our school. Your generosity not only impacts the lives of our current students, but also has long term benefits for students who will pass through our doors for years to come. These gifts may also help reduce estate and inheritance taxes. We encourage you to speak with your financial planner when considering this type of gift.
