You can make a meaningful gift of at any level or value through any of the following ways:
Cash Gifts
Cash gifts are the simplest and easiest gifts you can make. Cash gifts can be made online through credit/debit card transactions, or you can mail a personal check, cashier’s check, or money order made payable to KIPP Colorado Schools at 1390 Lawrence St., Suite 200, Denver, CO 80204, Attn: Development.
Gifts of Appreciated Securities, Stocks, and Bonds
These gifts have considerable tax advantages when transferred to KIPP Colorado Schools before they are sold. If you have appreciated securities, you may find that your gift will provide a two-fold tax benefit, creating an income-tax deduction, as well as helping avoid the capital-gains tax that would have been due on their sale. If you wish to transfer stocks from a brokers account, contact Alicia Economos via email or by phone at (303) 596-0634.
Gift Pledges
KIPP Colorado Schools welcomes your gift through a pledge—a formal statement of intention to make a gift over a specified period. With a pledge, you may complete your gift by making regular payments over time, allowing you to give more generously than you originally may have considered. What’s more, each payment on your pledge is eligible for an income-tax charitable deduction.
If you have questions, please contact Alicia Economos via email or by phone at (303) 596-0634.
