By giving appreciated long-term stock directly to VCS, you may receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full value of the stock. Gifts of securities are valued at the median price on the date of transfer to VCS. Stock can either be delivered to the school or transferred electronically. You may contact the Office of Advancement at 212.691.5146 or jdoyle@vcs-nyc.org.

More than 1,000 companies match donations made by their employees and retirees to independent schools. The value of an individual’s gift can be doubled—even tripled—through corporate matching gifts. Since matching gifts must be initiated by the donor, please inquire whether your employer has such a program, and if so, obtain the proper forms to forward with your contribution. We fill out and return the form to your company, which will then issue a matching gift contribution directly to VCS.

Individuals may make a planned gift to VCS through bequests, charitable trusts, retirement plans, insurance policies, and life income gifts. Such contributions enable a donor to make a significant gift to the school in the future, while providing immediate or estate tax benefits. Please note that tax consequences for estate planning depend on an individual’s particular circumstances and should be reviewed with financial and/or legal counsel. For more information, please call the Advancement Office at 212.691.5146.
