WAYS TO GIVE

A charitable gift of long-term appreciated securities can provide a double benefit—an immediate income-tax deduction for the full fair-market value of the securities and the avoidance of capital-gain tax.

There are two documents needed for the stock transfer. Please fill out the Stock Donation Broker Form and submit to your broker and/or complete the Stock Donation Advancement Form and submit it to the Advancement office (via email or drop off at the front desk) before initiating any securities gift. 

If you have any questions, please contact Daphne Banash, Data Manager.

Create a lasting impact by including Redwood Day in your long-term financial plans. Many families choose simple options like naming Redwood Day as a beneficiary of a retirement account, life insurance policy, or in their will or living trust.

These gifts can be easy to set up—often just a quick update to your beneficiary designations—and may offer tax benefits as well. You can designate a specific amount, a percentage, or name Redwood Day as a contingent beneficiary.

If you are age 70½ or older, you may also consider making a gift directly from your IRA through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), a tax-efficient way to support Redwood Day today.

For those interested in more structured options, planned giving vehicles such as charitable gift annuities or trusts may provide income and additional tax advantages while supporting the School.

To learn more or discuss your plans, please contact the Advancement Office.

Contributing crypto directly—just like a cash gift—may help you avoid capital gains tax while allowing you to claim a charitable deduction for the fair market value of your donation.
