Ways to Give

Cash gifts are the most common type of gift to our school and are accepted for any of Country Day's fundraising activities. All gifts to SCDS are tax-deductible.

Country Day accepts pledge commitments for The Fund for Country Day, capital campaigns and other school fundraising initiatives. Pledges to the Fund for Country Day must be paid in full by June 30th of each year. Capital pledges are typically paid over a five-year period. Make your online pledge here.

Utilizing stock to make a gift can be an effective way to reduce tax liabilities. By donating highly appreciated stock, you can make a gift and avoid capital gains taxes on the stock.

Your company's matching gift program may double or even triple the amount of your gift to SCDS!  Many companies offer programs that will match donations by their employees, directors, employees' spouses, or retirees.  To find out if your company has a matching gift policy, please check with your Human Resources department.  If your company offers this program, please submit the official paperwork to:

Planned giving utilizes estate-planning vehicles to contribute to Country Day. The Heritage Society was created to recognize the generosity of those who have made a planned estate gift or significant endowment gift to The Savannah Country Day School.
