You are invited to share in the mission of Marist High School by your generous gift to the Annual Fund. Please consider a gift in the following ways:

Giving Cash

A gift of cash is the simplest and most frequent form of giving. Cash gifts are fully deductible for income tax purposes. Cash gifts may be pledged over the course of the funding year, running September 1 through August 31.

Corporate Matching Gifts

Many corporations will match or, in some cases, double or triple charitable gifts made by employees and retirees. Please check with your Human Resources office to obtain a matching gifts application form.

Giving Stocks

A gift of appreciated securities held by you more than one year offers you two tax-wise benefits: an income tax deduction for their fair market values, and avoidance of capital gains tax on their appreciation in value. Please contact the Marist High School Finance Office, at 201-437-4544 x204, for information.

Giving Life Insurance

You may name Marist High School irrevocably as the owner and beneficiary of an insurance policy on your life, or you may donate an existing policy already in effect, particularly if your family no longer needs the policy for financial security upon your death.

Bequests

Planning a legacy gift to Marist High School through your will may be an attractive option for benefactors, depending upon personal assets and family considerations. Several ways exist to make a gift for the future, including:

• gifting a specific dollar amount;
• gifting specific property;
• gifting a percentage of your estate; and/or
• gifting the residue, or whatever remains after payment of debts, applicable estate taxes and family considerations.

Your gift through a bequest, regardless of how modest, is always important and appreciated. In strict confidence, please consider sharing with us news that you have made provision for Marist High School in your estate plans.

In-Kind Gifts

Non-cash gifts of useful products, services and/or price of time enable Marist to save the equivalent value of the same products and services donated, thereby reducing budget expenses.
