Donating appreciated securities, such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, is an impactful way to support Newton Country Day while potentially receiving significant tax benefits. By contributing long-term appreciated assets directly, you may avoid capital gains taxes while also qualifying for a charitable deduction based on the full fair market value of the securities. See instructions on how to make a gift of securities.

Newton Country Day School alumnae and friends who have reached age 70.5 can take advantage of charitable IRA distributions each year. A direct transfer of up to $100,000 from an individual retirement account to Newton Country Day School does not incur federal income tax and can be counted toward an individual's Required Minimum Distribution each year. These gifts do not qualify for a charitable deduction. For more information, please contact the Advancement Office.

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving program that allows you to combine tax benefits while supporting the School. To make a gift through your DAF, request a grant distribution through your DAF sponsor. Designate your gift to Boston Academy of the Sacred Heart, dba Newton Country Day School. EIN# 042 541 393. 

In 1993, Newton Country Day School established the Founders' Society to recognize those who remember the School in their estate plans. The following are the two most common ways to support NCDS in your estate plans:

• Bequests - A charitable bequest through your will is one of the simplest ways to make a gift to Newton Country Day School. Bequests may be a percentage of your estate, a specific dollar amount, or a gift of personal property. You may support areas important to you at the School or provide an unrestricted gift that will be used in Newton's best interest.
• Beneficiary designations - By naming Newton Country Day School as a full or partial beneficiary of your life insurance policy, IRA, 401(k), or other qualified plan, you will have a significant impact on Newton's future as well as have the asset pass to the School tax free.
