Gifts from Your Will or Trust
Need to preserve your assets during your lifetime? You can plan a legacy gift to us that will only take effect after your other obligations are fulfilled.
Gifts Anyone Can Make
Did you know there are ways to support the Taft School that don't affect your current lifestyle or your family's security?
You can support the Taft School with gifts that don't impact the way you live either by designating the Taft School to receive estate assets in the future or by making immediate gifts to us of assets that are "out of sight and out of mind."
The Benefits
- You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime.
- You can make a gift that leaves your cash flow and current financial planning unchanged.
- You don't have to use cash to make your gift; you can "buy low and give high" by making your gift with appreciated securities instead.
- You can designate and donate. It's simple.
