How to join The Cornerstone Heritage Society
Gifts Made by Will or Trust
A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. With the help of an advisor, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift be made to family, friends or The Summit Country Day School as part of your estate plan. Learn more here.
IRA or Retirement Gift
Donating part or all of your unused retirement assets, such as your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension or other tax-deferred plan, is an excellent way to make a gift to The Summit Country Day School. Learn more here.
Gifts of Life Insurance
A gift of your life insurance policy is an excellent way to make a gift to a charity of your choice. If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider making a gift of your insurance policy. For example, you may have purchased a policy to provide for minor children and they are now financially independent adults. Learn more here.
Charitable Gift Annuity
A charitable gift annuity is a contract between a donor and Summit with the following terms: As a donor, you make a sizable gift to Summit using cash, securities or possibly other assets. In return, you become eligible to take a partial tax deduction for your donation, plus you receive a fixed stream of income from Summit for the rest of your life. Learn more here.
