Planned Giving

There are many ways to optimize your gift to English High School

Preserve your legacy through Planned Giving.

Planned giving is also referred to as gift planning or legacy giving. In a nutshell, it is a donor’s intention to contribute a major gift to an organization, beyond their lifetime. So, unlike an annual gift (an outright gift made for current use), a planned gift is for the future. Essentially, donors make arrangements for planned gifts in the present but they are actually doled out at a later date.

Ask your financial advisor about supporting EHSA through Donor-Advised Funds

Donor-advised funds are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the United States because they are one of the easiest and most tax-advantageous ways to give to charity.  A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is like a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about.

When you contribute cash, securities or other assets to a donor-advised fund at a financial institution, like Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Wells Fargo Advisors, Bank of America, Vanguard Charitable, National Philanthropic Trust and others, you are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction. Then those funds can be invested for tax-free growth, and you can recommend grants to virtually any IRS-qualified public charity such as The English High School Association.

Contact your personal financial advisor today and ask how you can support English High through a contribution to a donor-advised fund.
