A gift of appreciated securities bears two key advantages: the donor can take a charitable income tax deduction for the full market value of the shares, and they can also bypass the capital gains tax that would otherwise be owed if the shares were sold. To ensure these benefits, be sure to transfer the securities directly to Kingswood Academy rather than selling them first. For additional details, please reach out to Matthew Ernst, our Director of Development & Fundraising, at mernst@kingswoodacademy.org.
A matching gift by your company or organization amplifies your generosity by adding the matching amount to your own gift at no additional expense to you.
Please contact your employer to find out if your donation is eligible for a matching gift and to request a matching gift form. Follow the procedure they recommend and designate Kingswood Academy as your gift recipient.
With thoughtful planning, you can make a lasting impact on Kingswood Academy while achieving your personal and philanthropic goals.
