How to Give
Gifts of Cash
Gifts of Cash are the most common and generally most simple to make. Checks should be made payable to the Nottoway-Lunenburg Educational Foundation. You can donate online via Xpress Pay located at the top of this page.
Gifts of Securities
Gifts of appreciated stocks, mutual funds or bonds may provide an advantageous gift. If assets have been held for more than one year, the gift may qualify for a charitable deduction for its full market value and avoid capital gains tax. The easiest way to make a gift of securities is to ask your broker or banker to transfer the stock to benefit Kenston Forest School.
Gifts of Real Estate
Gifts of homes, farms, land and other real property can have the same tax benefit as a gift of securities. By making a gift of property, you avoid a capital gains tax and receive a charitable deduction for the full market value of the property.
Gifts-in-Kind
Providing products related to the “charitable purpose” of Kenston Forest School allows the donor the tax advantage of a tax deduction while providing for the needs of the school.
Corporate Matching Funds
Many companies have matching gift programs where your charitable gift is matched. Your employer’s personnel office can provide forms and information needed to participate in such a program. This is an easy way to double or even triple your gift and receive a tax break at the same time.
Life Insurance and Deferred Gifts
Deferred gifts help build a solid foundation for the future of Kenston Forest School. Gifts of this nature are particularly appropriate for those who wish to support the school with a gift that may not be possible to make outright. For example, by designating Kenston Forest School as both the owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy, you are eligible for an immediate charitable contribution for the policy’s fair market value or the net of premiums paid, whichever is less. Other examples of deferred gifts include wills and bequests, life income gifts, charitable lead trusts, retirement plan gifts and retained life estates.
Kenston Forest School is a non-profit 501C3 status institution, approved as such by the Internal Revenue Service. To discuss gifts and named gift opportunities, please contact Sheila Cutrell at Kenston Forest School at scutrell@kenston.org or call (434)-292-7218
