Listed below are ways you can donate to South Lancaster Academy & Browning Elementary.  Most gifts are often considered tax deductible.  Estate gifts are also ways to remember SLA & BE, and in some cases receive an income from your donation. We thank you for the continued support you give to your school.


* Money – Cash, checks, credit card payments, (now available online), stocks, bonds
* In-Kind – Gifts-in-kind often benefit the school program if they are items we can utilize.  These items need to be operable and in good condition.  Please contact the Development/Alumni Office if you have an item you are considering gifting to SLA/BE. *Note – Gift value is determined by donor through appraisal or record of purchase.  SLA reserves the right to accept or decline a gift-in-kind.

* Stock – Stocks or other investments that have been held long-term can become a significant gift to SLA/BE and allows the donor to receive a tax deduction for the full, fair market value of the stock.
* Estate Gifts – Also known as “Planned Giving”.  The following gifts structures provide donors with an opportunity to give that integrates sound personal, financial, and estate-planning concepts with plans for a lifetime or testamentary giving.  A planned gift has tax implications and is often transmitted through a legal document, such as a will or a trust. Listed below are some options:

1.     Wills and Revocable Trusts – Add a line to your will to remember SLA/BE.

2.     Real Estate – Gift a portion or all of a property to SLA/BE.  The most flexible planning gift with many options.

3.     Life Insurance – Name SLA/BE as a beneficiary or assign the policy to SLA/BE to reduce estate taxes

4.     IRA’s – Giving to SLA/BE through your individual retirement accounts can reduce amount due in estate tax and leave more to the estate.

5.     Charitable Remainder Trusts – An investment for yourself and SLA/BE that comes with a tax break.  Give to SLA/BE and still collect income for yourself or your heirs.

6.     Charitable Gift Annuity – A gift the returns a guaranteed life income – and portions of it is tax-free. Give to SLA/BE and receive a guaranteed income in exchange.
