Ways to Give
List of 3 items.
-
Credit Card
Donate securely online by credit card. Make a one-time gift or set up a recurring gift plan. With a recurring gift, choose the amount and the frequency that you'd like to donate to Sanford; just "set it and forget it." Should you ever need to change your recurring plan, contact Jody Cross in the Development Office. -
Corporate Matching Gift
Check with your employer or HR department to see if they have a corporate matching gift program that will match your donation. If so, apply for a matching grant following your company's rules. Let us know you've applied for a matching grant so that we can approve requests and thank you. -
IRA Gifts (QCD)
Donate via your Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Those who are 70 1/2 or older can request a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to Sanford School (an IRS-recognized tax-exempt entity). With a QCD, the amount donated is exclued from your taxable income rather than taken as an itemized deduction. A QCD also helps satisfy your annual Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) without increasing your Adjusted Gross Income, helping to optimize your tax bracket. In this way, Qualified Charitable Distributions can offer greater tax savings. Note, the IRS currently limits QCDs to $111,000 per person, per year. Contact your retirement account administrator about making a qualified charitable distribution. Sanford’s EIN is 51-0064331.

Check
Send a check payable to Sanford School with the specific project you would like to support listed in the memo line.Attn: Development Office, Sanford School, 6900 Lancaster Pike, Hockessin, DE 19707. -
Stock Gifts
An economical way to support Sanford is through a gift of appreciated securites that you have held for more than one year. This allows you to bypass capital gains tax on the growth and receive an income tax deduction for the stock's fair market value. In order to determine the value, we will use the mean sale price on the day it comes into our possesion. Contact Jody Cross in the Development Office for Sanford's Charles Schwab account info and to alert us of the transfer. -
Charitable Lead Trust
Talk to your attorney or financial advisor about the advantages of setting up a charitable lead trust with Sanford School as the beneficiary. Charitable Lead Trust refers to an irrevocable trust designed to provide financial support to one or more charities, such as Sanford, for a set period of time, with the remaining assets eventually going to family members or other non-charitable beneficiaries.

Pledge
Fill out this online form or contact Jody Cross in the Development Office to set up a pledge and payment schedule. A pledge allows you to commit a larger specific donation amount with the flexibility to pay it out over multiple years and at payment times of your choosing, whether that be monthly, quarterly, or annually. -
Donor Advised Fund
A Donor Advised Fund, or DAF, is a giving vehicle established at a public charity like Fidelity Charitable. Giving in this way allows donors to receive a tax deduction directly from their DAF. Then at times of their choosing, donors recommend grants to qualified non-profits. When processing a grant request through your charitable giving account, search for Sanford School by tax ID (51-0064331). Include your name (unless you wish to be anonymous) and a gift designation (i.e. Sanford Fund, Capital Campaign, or Sanford Endowment). -
Charitable Remainder Trust
Talk to your attorney or financial advisor about the advantages of setting up a charitable remainder trust with Sanford School as the beneficiary. Charitable Remainder Trust refers to an irrevocable trust that generates a potential income stream for the donor, their family members, or other beneficiaries, with the remainder going to your favorite charity or charities. At the end of the specified term of the trust, the remaining trust assets are distributed to one or more charitable beneficiaries, such as Sanford.
