Gifts qualify for a charitable deduction equal to the full amount of the gift. Federal law limits the deduction in any one year to 50% of adjusted gross income. Any excess over the amount deducted the first year may be carried forward over the next five years (up to an annual 50% ceiling) until the value of the gift is fully deducted.

Please make your check out to Solebury School and mail it to:

New Hope, Pa 18938

 

Many corporations will match employee gifts to independent schools. Please check with your human resources department or ask our development office to see if your company will match your gift. It is a wonderful way to double (and sometimes triple!) your gift to Solebury.

For more information, please contact Michael Marshall (Assistant Director of the Annual Fund) at mmarshall@yja-security.com or 215.862.5261, ext. 136.

Giving appreciated securities (which you have held more than one year) can be advantageous tax-wise. By giving the stock directly to the school (do not sell the stock first and send the proceeds to Solebury), you will receive a tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the securities on the date the school receives the stock. In addition, you do not pay any capital gains tax on the appreciation of the stock. Federal law limits deductions in any one year to 30% of adjusted gross income. Any excess can be carried forward over the next five years up to an annual 30% ceiling.

Sometimes people find that they have something that Solebury School might be able to use such as: furniture, computers, art equipment, books, food for events or school supplies. These in kind gifts can be wonderful additions to the school and help to keep expenses down. Sometimes, however, Solebury may not need something that is offered at that time. Please contact the school first to see if we can use the item. Your thoughtful gifts are always very much appreciated.

The advantage to the donor:

You may be able to deduct your in kind donation as a tax deduction to a charitable organization. You, as the donor, are responsible for valuing the item. Items valued over $500 need to be reported on form 8283 on your tax return. Items valued over $5,000 must be independently appraised.

The advantage to the school:

We receive items that we may otherwise not have been able to purchase.

If you have something you think the school could use, please contact Michael Marshall (Assistant Director of the Annual Fund) at mmarshall@yja-security.com or 215.862.5261, ext. 136.
