Ways of Giving
I. Gifts of Cash | Outright gifts of cash are often the easiest and have a direct impact on funding goals. The charitable deduction must be taken in the year in which the gift is made.
II. Gifts of Appreciated Securities | Gifts of appreciated securities offer additional tax savings. The charitable deduction is equal to the fair market value of the securities when the gift is made.
III. Pledges | Gifts may be pledged over a specific period of time. Annual Fund pledges are fulfilled by June 30 of the fiscal year. Capital Campaign pledges are fulfilled over a period of three to five years.
IV. Corporate Matching Gifts| Many companies match their employees’ gifts to qualifying institutions and organizations. Obtain the matching gift form from your employer, complete your part and enclose the form with your gift.
V. Planned Gifts | Contact the Development Office to discuss planned giving options.

Annual Fund
What is the Annual Fund?
St. Michael’s Annual Fund supplements tuition revenue in support of the operating budget for the current school year. Gifts provide sustaining funds in support of all aspects of instruction – providing teachers with the tools necessary to offer students a dynamic and competitive learning environment.
Every gift counts! Each gift, regardless of the amount, makes a difference; providing fiscal resources to support academic instruction and extra-curricula activities as well as increasing constituency participation levels.
Annual Fund gifts and pledges are made during the fiscal year beginning in July and ending June 30. Contributions to the Annual Fund are tax-deductible.
