in the sidebar.
Online Giving
In-Kind Gifts
The Evergreen School can use donated goods or services that we would
otherwise need to purchase. Computer equipment and software, musical
instruments and books are just a few examples of in-kind gifts. Forms
for In-Kind gifts can be filled out in the Development Office, once
the gift has been accepted-we reserve the right to refuse any gifts
that don't meet the school's needs.
Matching Gifts
If you or your spouse work for an organization with a matching gift
program, please take advantage of this effective way to double or even
triple your gift! Check with your company's Human Resources office
for the appropriate forms.
Securities
Gifts of securities may be made by electronic transfer or by assigning
or issuing the paper certificates to The Evergreen School. The easiest
way to transfer securities (stocks, bonds) is to make a wire transfer
from your bank or brokerage to Evergreen's broker. See the link to
the Securities Form (pdf) in the sidebar.
Life Income Gifts
Donors may transfer funds, securities or other property to The Evergreen
School while they and/or their beneficiaries continue to receive income
for life from the trust or annuity established by the gift. Ultimately,
The Evergreen School will receive the principal as a gift.
Life Insurance
Donors may make gifts of life insurance by assigning The Evergreen
School as owner and beneficiary of the policy.
Wills or Bequests
Naming The Evergreen School as a beneficiary in your will enrich the
lives of many generations of students through gifts influencing the
future. Wills can be amended through a simple supplement called a codicil
without the necessity of redoing the original testament. Your estate
will also receive a charitable estate tax deduction for the full amount
of the gift.
Bank Account or Mutual Funds
If you have a bank account or mutual fund that you want to eventually
pass on to Evergreen, simply place the words "in trust for The
Evergreen School" on the account. You continue to retain full
ownership and control and can alter or revoke the account at any time.
Beneficiary
Your will, insurance policy, retirement plan or trust can name The
Evergreen School as beneficiary. This method of giving permits you
to benefit from your assets during your lifetime while making provisions
for The Evergreen School in the future.
Endowment
A donor who wishes to invest in the long-term goals of Evergreen and
have their gift remain intact can create an endowment. An endowment
is a fund where the principal remains untouched, as only the earnings
are used for the purposes agreed upon by the donor and the school.
Endowment gifts of $100,000 or more can be named for the donor, a favorite
teacher, a company or business, or in memory of a family member.
