Community support is vital to the success of the
School of the Arts Foundation
in its work to enhance the art and academic programs at the internationally recognized
Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts.
There are several opportunities available for you to help the School of the Arts Foundation while gaining tax and income benefits for yourself. To make your gift effective, carefully consider one of the following.
- Gifts of cash are the most common gifts and may be pledged over multiple years. A pledge often enables you, as the donor, to contribute a larger gift if it is spread over a longer period of time. To make your tax-deductible donation on line click here.
- Stocks, bonds or other forms of securities that have appreciated value are the next most common form of gift. The tax advantages to the individual make them highly attractive. Money market funds also make excellent gifts.
- Gifts of real estate are another convenient way to contribute. If you are hesitating to sell some real estate due to potential large capital gains taxes, you may transfer the property to School of the Arts Foundation and derive substantial benefits.
- Life insurance may provide an easy way to make a substantial gift. You may be one of the fortunate people whose life insurance policy has outlived its original purpose. A policy can be assigned to School of the Arts Foundation whether it is paid up, partially paid up or is a new policy.
- Gifts through your will are an excellent form of giving. While current gifts are needed, you are not limited to this form of giving. By making a bequest to School of the Arts Foundation in your will, you can help ensure the future of state-of-the-art educational programs at the Alexander W. Dreyfoos, Jr. School of the Arts. Or, you may consider leaving your assets in Trust, assigning the income to one or two beneficiaries and the Trust principal to School of the Arts Foundation.
-
- Other forms of giving include life income plans and trusts, family business gifts and commemorative or memorial. There are a variety of plans, which can bring immediate benefits to you. We urge you to consult your own legal or financial counsel to determine which plan is best for you. With proper planning you'll receive the maximum benefits for your objectives, while supporting School of the Arts Foundation at the same time.
