Major Gifts
Your significant contribution helps meet long-term
curriculum, facilities and endowment goals of the
school. Your gift helps strengthen the school's financial
resources for the future. These types of gifts help
improve the buildings, grounds and equipment; build
new scholarship and emergency assistance funds; and
offer competitive faculty and staff salaries.
Planned Gifts
One of the simplest ways to give a planned
gift is through a bequest in your will. After providing
for your heirs, you may wish to include Waldron Mercy
Academy in your estate plans. You can also give appreciated
stock which is easily transferable and provides special
tax benefits.
Matching Gifts
You can double your support by designating
Waldron Mercy Academy as the recipient of matching
funds if your employer has a matching gift program.
Matching gifts count toward your Giving Circle membership.
Tribute Gifts
You can remember or honor a loved one, a family
member or an important life event through a tribute
gift.
Gifts-in-Kind
We gratefully accept gifts of appropriate equipment,
books or supplies. Special tax deductions are available
for firms or individuals contributing gifts-in-kind
to schools.
