Employer Matching Gifts
Talk to your human resources or community relations department at work to find out if your company has a matching gift program and request a matching gift form. Send your gift and the completed form to DSHA.We will verify your gift and return the form to your company who will match the gift at their designated rate.
Make a Planned Gift
DSHA welcomes planned gifts in the form of Bequests, Gift Annuities, Trusts and Life Insurance and can assist donors who wish to include any of these in their estate planning. Making a bequest or any other type of planned gift can give tax benefits to the donor, provide long term support for the school and entitles the donor to membership in The Cornerstone Society.
Bequest
This is the simplest kind of planned gift - a provision in your will or living trust which names DSHA as a beneficiary.Bequests can be made of a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate or a specific asset.
Charitable Gift Annuity
This is a contract between you and DSHA. Assets (cash, stocks or real property) are transferred to the school and in return you receive an annuity payment for the remainder of your life.
Charitable Remainder Trust
You transfer assets to a legally established trust which then pays you an annual income, either fixed or a percentage of the trust principal, for life. Following your death, the trust's assets become a gift to the school.
Charitable Lead Trust
You establish a trust that transfers assets to the school; the trust generates income for DSHA for a specified number of years. At the end of that time, the funds are returned to you or to your heirs.
Life Insurance
Matured policies or new policies to which you commit to paying the premiums may be gifted to DSHA. Income tax charitable deductions are available for the value of a matured insurance policy and for premium payments made by you.
To inform us of a planned gift or for more information, contact Tracy Wayson, VP of Institutional Advancement, by calling (414) 616-2815 or e-mailing her at WaysonT@dsha.k12.wi.us.
All gifts to DSHA are recognized in our Progress Report published annually following the close of our fiscal year on June 30.
