One Mission with Many Ways to Give

Your gift to Sanford School makes you part of a meaningful educational tradition that is as treasured and relevant today as it was at our founding.

Because we appreciate and benefit from all gifts, no matter the size, we ask that everyone do their best to participate in our fundraising campaigns.

There are three primary means of giving to Sanford School, and they differ both practically and philosophically. All forms of giving, however, are critical for the overall health of the school.

The Annual Fund
(Yearly Giving) serves the immediate need of supplementing the school’s annual budget and benefits today's students immediately. If you can make only one gift, we ask that the Annual Fund be your priority.
Planned Giving
Provides for the long-term sustainability of the school through contributions to an endowment fund. Many methods of planned giving provide immediate benefits to the donor, as well as to the school.
Capital Campaigns
Support specific initiatives on an as-needed basis.

Gifts in Kind

Immediate gifts to support Sanford come in many forms—from donating used books back to the school to be used in the classroom, to volunteering services, to contributing flowers for the gardens. Gift in Kind donations are a great way to support Sanford with immediate needs. For more information, please contact Sanford’s Development Office at 302.235.6504.
Make a Planned or Deferred Gift

Planned Giving is a means to make a significant gift to Sanford School, either now or in the future, while garnering immediate or estate tax benefits for the donor or his or her heirs. Planned giving opportunities that offer tax savings and benefits while contributing to Sanford’s future security include wills, life insurance, life income gifts, charitable trusts, and real estate. If you are interested in more information on arranging for a planned or deferred gift, please contact Jaime Morgan at 302.235.6504 or visit the Planned Giving section of the website.
Matching Gift Programs

An easy way to enhance your gift to the school is through a matching gift from your employer. Many corporations match employee donations. If you don’t know if your company matches gifts, please consult your HR department or contact Sanford’s Development Office at 302.235.6512.
Make a Gift of Securities

Particular tax savings depend on individual circumstances and must be discussed with personal financial and tax advisors.
