SUPPORTING THE PRIORY
Giving to Woodside Priory School
For 61 years, Woodside Priory School has been
graced by the presence of our Benedictine monks, driven by the ambitions of talented teachers and administrators and backed by the generous support of the school’s donors. The Priory enjoys a robust culture of philanthropy sustained by your faithful commitment. We are grateful.
Ways to Give
CASH
Gifts to Priory may be made by cash, check, credit card or appreciated stock. Make a donation online at: prioryca.org/giveonline
STOCKS OR SECURITIES
A gift of appreciated stock offers a two-fold tax saving: avoiding capital gains tax on the increase in value of the stock and providing an income tax deduction for the full market value of the stock at the time of the gift.
MATCHING CORPORATE GIFTS
Many companies offer employees a matching gift benefit that could double the contribution to Priory. Check with your Human Resources Department to see if your employer matches charitable gifts or see the Matching Gift directory at prioryca.org/matchinggifts
GIFTS-IN-KIND
Items may be donated to Priory, such as computers, software, professional services, and athletic equipment, which provide operational savings and meet the specific needs of Priory. The school does not assign a dollar value to gifts-in-kind.
PLANNED GIFTS
Donors may consider giving bequests through wills or trusts, life insurance, retirement plan donations and life income gifts. Estate planning can be a way to reduce or avoid estate and inheritance taxes. We encourage you to speak with your financial planner when considering any type of planned gift. We honor those individuals who have made a lasting commitment to our school by including charitable gifts to the Priory in their estate. Those who remember the Priory through a will, trust, designation or other planned gift are invited to join our St. Benedict Society, which recognizes this special form of lasting philanthropy.
