Appreciated Securities

Maximize your tax benefit for 2023, by making CDS your non-profit of choice. Most people think of cash when they consider charitable contributions, but many donors find significant tax savings sby donating gifts of appreciated securities.  More Info...

Real Estate

Real estate that may have appreciated over the years and is readily marketable may offer the donor a way to make a gift of greater value than is possible in cash or securities and, at the same time, avoid capital gains tax on the increased value of the property.

Planned Gifts | Life Insurance

Making a planned gift is a wonderful way to create a legacy and to show your support for Carrollwood Day School and its mission while accommodating your own personal, financial, estate-planning, and philanthropic goals. With smart planning, you may actually increase the size of your estate and/or reduce the tax burden on your heirs. Just as important, you will know that you have made a meaningful contribution to CDS. 

Bequests

A bequest is a transfer, by will, of property such as cash, securities (stocks), or tangible property to an individual or a charitable organization.  We recommend that you check with your tax advisor for details regarding this method of donating.
