The Hawthorne Valley School, like all non-profit independent schools, relies on a combination of both tuition and fundraising to support its everyday operations. Your charitable tax-deductible gifts help us to minimize tuition increases and help the school thrive.

Ways to Give

Gifts to Hawthorne Valley School can take many forms. Immediate Gifts help build the campus now:

Gift of Cash: A cash gift is the simplest form of giving. All contributions to Hawthorne Valley School are tax deductible. And you can claim your deductions over a period of up to six years, for cash as for all charitable gifts.

Appreciated Stock: Appreciated stock makes an excellent gift. You avoid all capital gains taxes and receive an income tax deduction for the full value of the gift.

In-kind Gifts of Materials and Equipment: The material needed for our buildings and the equipment or furnishings that will be used in them can also be given. You are able to claim the fair market value of these gifts as a tax deduction.

Deferred Gifts help build the School and its endowment in the future:

Bequest: A gift through your will can have a significant impact on the school. This can be a specific bequest or a portion of the residual of your estate. A charitable bequest may decrease the amount of tax your estate pays.

CD's, Savings Accounts, Brokerage Accounts, and Checking Accounts with POD Provisions: "POD" means "payable on death." You retain full ownership and control during your lifetime. Upon your death, the account balance is paid - immediately and without probate.

Other giving options are also available. Please contact the Hawthorne Valley School Development Office for more information.
