All Annual Fund gifts to The Shipley School are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

Cash
Contributions of cash, check, or money order are accepted.  Checks should be made payable to “The Shipley School.”  Gifts made by cash, check, or money order will be credited for tax purposes in the calendar year (indicated on the postmark of the envelope) in which the contribution was received.

Credit Cards
Contributions by credit card can be made using VISA^®, MasterCard^®, American Express^® either by mail or by using Shipley’s secure Online Giving form (see below). 

Online Giving
Pledges or credit card contributions may be made on Shipley’s Secure Online Giving Form.

Matching Gifts
Many companies match the philanthropic contributions of their employees on a 1:1 or 2:1 basis.  Matching Gift Request Forms are usually available from your company’s personnel office.  Complete your portion of the form and mail it to the School along with your gift.  A check from the company will be sent directly to Shipley, at which time you will receive confirmation that the School received the matching gift.
All matching gifts are counted towards your membership in either the Leadership Council or Honor Circle.

Appreciated Securities
The most efficient way to make a gift of securities is to transfer stock electronically to the School’s brokerage account.  Please notify Shipley of your intent to transfer stock by contacting Margaret Anne Ritter, Director of Annual Giving:
