Ways To Give
Outright Gifts
When you make an outright gift to Pinewood, your contribution can be put to work immediately — providing funding for current programs. An outright gift may be composed of almost any asset of value:
- Cash gifts the simplest and easiest gifts you can make can be made through any of the following:
- Gifts of appreciated securities, stocks, and bonds also provide considerable tax advantages when transferred to Pinewood Preparatory School before they are sold. If you have held your securities for more than one year, you may find that your gift will provide a twofold tax benefit, creating an income-tax deduction as well as helping avoid the capital-gains tax that would have been due on their sale.
- Naming Opportunities
You also may make a gift of mutual funds, non-marketable stock, or closely held stock. Contact the Pinewood Preparatory School Advancement Office for information about giving these types of securities.
Pinewood’s address is:
Pinewood Preparatory School
1114 Orangeburg Road
Summerville, SC 29483
- Gifts of real estate — including personal residences, second homes, income property, and vacant land — offer a wide variety of tax and other benefits. Whereas most people give their entire interest away, it is also possible to give only a portion of the property (an undivided percentage interest) while retaining the rest for other purposes.
- Gifts of personal property — including rare books, works of art, valuable collectibles, and tangible items of demonstrable value — in some cases may enable you to make a significant gift to support Pinewood with outstanding tax benefits to you.
Planned Gifts
To learn about deferred or planned gifts, including bequests, life-income plans, and other options for your estate — and for information about increasing your income, earning valuable income-tax deductions, and reducing your estate taxes — please contact the Pinewood Advancement Office.
Matching Gifts
An easy way to double or even triple your donation to Pinewood is to find out if your company has a matching-gift program. Such programs typically match all or a percentage of employee contributions to charitable organizations, making the employer a partner in employees’ personal philanthropy. Simply obtain a matching-gift form from your employer’s personnel office, fill it out, and provide it to Pinewood with your contribution.
Companies that match your annual fund gift (please check with your company for policy detail)
Gift Pledges
Pinewood welcomes your gift through a pledge — a formal statement of intention to make a gift to the school. With a pledge, you may complete your gift by making regular payments over time, allowing you to give more generously than you originally may have considered. What is more, each payment on your pledge is eligible for an income-tax charitable deduction.
