Ways to Give

Donors may wish to consider giving through such means as life insurance, bequests or charitable trusts. Planned giving may be a way to reduce estate and inheritance taxes. We encourage you to speak with your financial planner when considering any type of planned gift.

You may achieve significant tax savings by making your gift via stocks or other capital assets. If you have stocks that have appreciated, your charitable deduction may be based on the full market value on the date of the transfer. If you have stocks that have decreased in value, you may be able to take a deductible loss when you sell the stocks and donate the proceeds.

If donors would like to donate appreciated securities to the school, via transfer of stock to the school’s brokerage account, please contact TJ Harney, CFO/COO, at tharney@village-school.org or at 310-459-8411 ext. 601 for instructions.

Donor's stock broker will need this information:

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a flexible way for individuals, families, or organizations to manage their charitable giving. Donors can contribute cash, securities, or other assets to the fund, which are immediately eligible for a tax deduction. DAF contributions are invested and can grow tax-free over time providing opportunities for you to make a greater impact. Donors can recommend grants from their DAF to any eligible public charity organization, including Village School.

Many corporations encourage philanthropy by matching employee donations. Matching gifts can double or triple the amount of your gift. To find out if your company has a matching gift policy, please get in touch with the Advancement Office.
