Your giving helps to pass along a legacy of involvement and caring that has been a focal point in the lives of so many young students. Thank you for making a difference.

Cash
A majority of all gifts to the Catholic Schools of Greater Kalamazoo come in the form of cash, via check, money order or credit card. These gifts help meet the school's most immediate needs and entitle you to the most generous federal income tax deduction available for charitable contributions.

Marketable Securities
A gift of appreciated securities that you have held for more than one year is frequently the most economic way to give. You will be eligible to take a federal income tax deduction and you will not have to recognize the appreciation as capital gain. To deliver gifts of securities please use the following information:

Corporate Matching Gifts
Many companies offer matching gift programs to encourage their employees to contribute to a favorite charity. Corporate matching gifts can double or even triple the value of your gift if your employer or your spouse's employer participates in a matching gift program. Many programs also match gifts made by their retirees. Contact your Human Resources office at your or your spouse's place of employment concerning the availability of a matching gifts program or click here to review the list of companies that match contributions made to Catholic Schools of Greater Kalamazoo.

In-Kind Gifts
In-kind gifts are gifts of materials or services, rather than monies. Such gifts might include equipment, computer hardware and software, furniture, books or materials like lumber or fabric for theatrical costumes or scenic elements. In-kind contributions can make a real difference in the quality of education for our students.

Planned gifts

This kind of giving often enables individuals to make a much larger contribution to the Catholic Schools of Greater Kalamazoo that might otherwise be possible during their lifetime, using such giving plans as charitable bequests and life insurance. We encourage you to seek the assistance of your professional advisers in making donations through bequest, trusts and other such arrangement.

Memorial and Honorarium

Memorial and honorarium gifts offer an opportunity to honor a relative, friend, teacher, student or any special person.
