There are several ways to make a charitable gift to St. John's Episcopal
School:
Check:
Checks should be made payable to St. John's and delivered to the Development
Office or mailed to:
The Annual Fund
St. John's Episcopal School
1600 Sherman Dr.
Abilene, TX 79605
Credit Card:
St. John's accepts Visa and MasterCard. Gifts can be charged to a credit
card by filling out a pledge form (available in the Development Office)
or by calling the Institutional Development Director, Lisa Jones at (325)
695-8870.
Planned Giving & Bequests:
The long term financial needs of St. John's can be met in part by an established
bequest program. You can invest in the bright future of St. John's and
enjoy the tax benefits of your investment. We deeply appreciate the support
of alumni and parents who have included St. John's in their wills and
encourage you to consider this vehicle of giving.
Matching Gifts:
Many employers offer programs that will match or even multiply an employee's
gift to St. John's. This is an easy way to dramatically increase the effect
of your gift. To do so, simply obtainain a matching gift form from your
company's Matching Gift Coordinator (usually in the Human Resources or
Community Relations department), fill it out and send it in with your
contribution.
Gifts in Kind
You may wish to make a donation of real estate, equipment, furniture,
artwork, vehicles and other property that the St. John's can effectively
use and that has financial value. The donor must make arrangements with
St. John's for the transfer of the property and provide a written estimate
of its value. That value will be recorded on St. John's receipt for the
donor's tax consideration.
Gifts of Securities:
Giving a gift of appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds can be to
your financial advantage. If you intend to give a gift of securities,
please call (or have your broker call) Lisa Jones in the Development Office
at (325) 695-8870. In most cases you may claim a charitable income tax
deduction for the full fair market value on the shares and avoid capital
gains tax. Please consult your financial advisor to clarify the advantages
to you.
Pledges:
Extending payments over time offers donors more flexibility to make a
gift. Pledges must be paid by June 30th to be included in the Annual Report.
Pledges can be made by filling out a pledge form (available in the Development
Office) or by calling Lisa Jones at (325) 695-8870.
