List of 4 items.

  • Check or Credit Card

    For income tax purposes, your gift is tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. Gifts may be made by check or credit card. Village School accepts all major credit cards. Credit card gifts can be made online at https://www.village-school.org/donate or by contacting Sara Singsank at (310) 459-8411 ext. 603. To pay via check, make checks payable to Village School and send to: Village School, Advancement Office, 780 Swarthmore Avenue, Pacific Palisades, CA 90272.
  • Matching Gifts

    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 contact the Advancement Office.
  • Planned Giving

    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.
  • Stock Transfers/Securities

    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 Vance Ito, CFO/COO, at vito@village-schoo.org or at 310-459-8411 ext. 601 for instructions.
