We’ve put together a quick list of ways you can support education for all Ladakhi students. If you are interested in learning more about these vehicles to provide support to SSP, please contact Sydney Young at sydney@siddharthaschool.org or call or text 703.328.3732. We’d be thrilled to speak with you about any ideas you have for support.
#1: Matching Gifts
Many companies match employee donations to the Siddhartha School Partnership. Itβs an easy way to double your contribution.
#2: Donor-Advised Fund Gifting
The donor-advised fund (DAF) is an increasingly popular way to make a charitable gift. DAFs can provide you with immediate tax benefits while making your charitable giving easier.
#3: Securities Gifting
Securities are a great vehicle, as donors most often avoid capital gains tax and may be able to claim an income tax deduction as well. SSP accepts many gifts this way annually.
#4: IRA Gifting (QCD)
Your IRA can provide a tax-smart way to make an impact with the Siddhartha School Partnership. The qualified charitable distribution or QCD (sometimes called an βIRA charitable rolloverβ) is a great way to make a tax-free gift now to SSP and satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD), too.
#5: Planned Will & Trust Gifting
Planned gifts have an enormous and lasting impact on the Siddhartha School Partnership. By making a planned gift to the Partnership as a part of your legacy, you will be investing in the gift of education.
