Ways of Giving
There are many ways of giving to The Ogden High School Campaign to Preserve a Community Icon, each of which
provides certain advantages to the donor.
Gifts of Cash...
An outright pledge of cash is the simplest method of giving and qualifies for a full charitable deduction.
A three to five year pledge period has been established for The Ogden High School Campaign to Preserve
a Community Icon, allowing donors to fulfill their pledges in installments.
Gifts of Appreciated Property...
Capital assets including stocks, bonds, securities and real estate, which have appreciated significantly
beyond the original purchase price, can also be contributed to The Ogden High School Campaign to Preserve
a Community Icon, creating significant tax benefits. Certain limitations apply, however, and donors are
encouraged to consult with advisors about such gifts.
Corporate and Matching Gifts...
Owners of closely held corporations could benefit by making a contribution through the company. This
avoids possible double taxation of both corporate and personal incomes. Also, many corporations have
matching gift programs under which the value of an employee’s or director’s (or spouse’s) gift may be
multiplied.
Tax Deductibility...
While tax benefits are rarely the prime motivation behind a gift, they often enable a donor to give more
than would otherwise be possible. The Ogden School Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization, so all gifts
are tax deductible to the extent provided by law. When considering a major gift to the campaign, however,
it is a good idea to discuss options with legal and tax advisors, who can help determine the most
advantageous method of giving.
Bequests...
One final option you may wish to consider is that of making a simple bequest to the Ogden High School
Campaign in your will. While a bequest will not (hopefully) generate immediate funds for the project,
bequests can be dedicated to a special fund for ongoing historic preservation efforts at Ogden High
School. To learn more about this, and other planned giving options, contact the Ogden School Foundation.
