Ways to Give

Cedar Creek School was founded on a strong tradition of individual philanthropy. Thoughtfully planned gifts not only provide lasting support for our mission but can also offer significant financial and tax benefits to donors during their lifetime. In some cases, planned giving can enable individuals to make a more substantial contribution than would be possible through a one-time cash gift or pledge.

The information below outlines a variety of giving options, each offering unique advantages for donors who wish to invest in the future of Cedar Creek School:

Ways to Give

Cash Gifts
Cash gifts are the most common and straightforward method of giving. Donations may be made via credit card or check. Contributions postmarked by December 31 are fully tax-deductible for that calendar year.

Pledges
Pledges provide flexibility by allowing contributions to be made over time—ranging from several months (for Annual Giving) to several years (for Capital Campaigns). Please contact the Development Office to discuss pledge arrangements.

Matching Gifts
Many employers offer matching gift programs, which can double or even triple the impact of your contribution. We encourage you to inquire with your employer about this opportunity. The Development Office is happy to assist with the necessary documentation.

Gifts of Common Stock
Donating appreciated securities can be a tax-efficient way to give. Donors receive a charitable deduction for the full market value of the stock and avoid capital gains tax on the appreciated portion.

Gifts in Kind
Non-cash gifts such as computers, athletic equipment, office furniture, educational materials, and supplies are greatly appreciated and directly support our programs and operations.

Important Note:

We strongly encourage you to consult with your attorney, accountant, or financial advisor to determine the giving strategy that best aligns with your personal financial goals and circumstances.

For more information about any of these giving opportunities, please contact the Cedar Creek Development Office. We are grateful for your continued support and commitment to the future of Cedar Creek School.
