Gifts of appreciated securities provide significant tax savings for the donor by avoiding capital gains tax. Such gifts are also tax deductible at the fair market value on the date of the gift. To avoid paying tax on the profit, you must give the security itself rather than selling it first and then giving the proceeds.

Please contact the Development office or call 336-724-5811 and provide:

• the name of the stock

• the number of shares you intend to transfer

• the approximate value of the stock

• the purpose of your gift. 

We will then share with you contact information for the institutions where Summit School has accounts, which includes Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, and Stephens, Inc. By first alerting Summit School of the incoming shares, you ensure the gift is able to be sold immediately and credited to the appropriate donor. There is a chance that when gifts are sent directly to the broker, Summit is not informed by whom it was gifted.

Alternatively, you may send to Summit by certified mail a signed stock certificate(s) or a stock power to cover the certificate(s) and a letter of authorization allowing the shares to be deposited in the Summit School account. If your gift comprises only part of a certificate, indicate in the letter of authorization how the remaining shares should be handled.

If you are 70 ½ or older, a charitable gift transferred from your IRA will not be taxed. It can also satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD), maximizing the benefits to both you and Summit School. For more information, please contact the Development office or call 336-724-5811.

If you have a donor advised fund or other charitable fund you can direct a grant to Summit School. Please indicate the purpose of your gift when doing so, for example, stating that the gift is for general support. For more information, please contact the Development office or call 336-724-5811.

Summit’s planned giving society, Patrons for Tomorrow, was established to recognize those who have made provisions for a planned gift to Summit School.
