Gift Planning
There are several ways in which you can make a significant gift to Capitol Hill Day School without altering your standard of living or depleting hard-earned savings yet honoring other commitments in your estate plan.
Gifts can be a specific dollar amount, a specific piece of property, a percentage of an estate, or all or part of the residue of an estate. You can also name the School as a contingent beneficiary if someone named in your will is no longer living. These, and many other options, are available for you to consider not only to insure long-term support for Capitol Hill Day School but also to begin thinking about other critical aspects of estate planning such as a secure financial future, estate tax considerations, and, most importantly, your wishes. Philanthropy has tangible and intangible rewards. You will find that you are influenced by many motives—some humanitarian, some financial, some close to your heart. The best plan for you is the one that satisfies all of them.
Thank you for taking the time to explore the benefits of gift planning. As we begin this financial discussion, it is important that you keep your financial and legal advisors informed.
