Benefits of Year End Giving to Ranney

The spirit of giving is clearly present here at Ranney School. Year-end gifts to Ranney are a great way to significantly reduce income taxes, while providing meaningful support to the school. Please visit www.ranneyschool.org/giveonline and join fellow Ranney parents in making a gift to Ranney School.

The most popular way to give is through donations of cash or check. In addition, there are other ways to give a year-end gift to Ranney. For example, gifts of stocks, bonds, mutual funds and certain other assets that have increased in value since you have owned them can result in even greater tax savings. In addition, you can sometimes double or even triple your gift to Ranney by participating in your company’s matching gift program. Many employers will happily match philanthropic contributions made by their employees. All you have to do is ask your employer for a matching gift form and mail it to Ranney and we will take care of the rest.

If mailing a credit card donation or check, please mail early in the month as mail delivery may be slower during the month of December. When making gifts of securities, check with your financial services provider to ensure that your gift is completed properly and in a timely manner. You should allow additional time for gifts of mutual fund shares or non-publicly traded securities. Remember, all gifts mailed or otherwise completed by December 31, 2009 will qualify for tax deductibility for 2009.
