In-Kind Donations
If you are interested in donating goods or services to Sheridan, please contact Meredith Kirchner at mkirchner@sheridanschool.org.

Gift of Stock
In most cases, an outright gift of appreciated securities entitles the donor to an income tax charitable deduction for the fair market value of the securities. In the case of securities that have been held for more than one year, the capital gains tax is waived.

In addition, a gift of depreciated securities entitles the donor to an income tax charitable deduction and creates a capital loss that can be used against future capital gains. The donor sells the stock, creating a capital loss, and gives the proceeds of the sale to Sheridan.

Gift of Life Insurance
A donor may contribute a life insurance policy that has been paid in full.

Bequest
In his or her will, a donor may add a provision that gives a specific amount or a percentage of his or her estate to Sheridan.

Matching Gifts
Double your donation! Many companies will match their employees’ charitable contributions. Check with your human resources department to see if your company will match your gift.
