Planned Gifts - Planned gifts, including those from charitable trusts, retirement plans, and life insurance policies, If you inform Kingsley of your plans, we will be able to thank you now and publicly recognize your support.
IRA Gifts - For those aged 70.5 and older, gifts made directly from your IRA can count toward your required minimum distribution. Provided you have the funds sent directly to Kingsley Montessori School, rather than to you first, these funds stay out of your taxable income. Ask your IRA administrator for the "Qualified Charitable Distribution" forms.
