Every gift makes a difference.
Tuxedo Park School is deeply grateful for the tremendous support we receive from our parents, trustees, grandparents, alumni and their families, and friends. Your generosity supports, sustains, and strengthens TPS in many ways. It enables us to offer an excellent educational program and the evidence of generosity and its profound impact on our students is visible throughout the school. Thank you!
We give back to TPS in gratitude for everything the teachers and staff do to create engaged critical thinkers who will grow into kind, fair and responsible young citizens of the world.
Ways to Give
Monetary Gift
Giving by check or credit card is the easiest method when donating to Tuxedo Park School. Donors can indicate on the memo line where the donation should be directed (Annual Fund, Capital Campaign, or a Restricted Gift). Donors who wish to use a credit card may do so by using our convenient and secure GiveSmart form on this page. We have Paypal and Venmo, too!
Gifts in Kind
Tuxedo Park School welcomes in-kind gifts to support specific programs and services. Before making an in-kind gift, please contact Fiona Duffy so we can be sure that we will be able to use your gift to its fullest potential.
Matching Gifts
There are many companies that match their employees’ gifts to independent schools. Donors can contact their human resources offices for the appropriate forms and forward them with their gifts to the school for completion.
Gifts of Securities
The tax benefits of making a gift of appreciated securities may be two-fold. The cost-basis of the stock will be lower than the actual gift, allowing the donor to avoid paying capital gains on the increase in value of the stock, and the donor will receive an income tax deduction and gift credit from Tuxedo Park School for the full market value of the stock at the time of the contribution. Instructions for transferring stock to the School may be obtained from Fiona Duffy, Director of Institutional Advancement.
Donor-Advised Funds
Tuxedo Park School receives some gifts throughout the year from donors who use Donor-Advised Funds (DAF).
A DAF is a charitable giving account that is personal to the donor and enables said donor to receive immediate tax deductions for contributions at a minimum level to their DAF. They can also recommend grants from the DAF to 501(c)(3) charities. Tuxedo Park School is a 501(c) 3 organization. Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable and Vanguard Charitable are DAFs. If you have an existing account with these or any other organizations, please consider designating a gift to TPS.
Now and Forever Society
Donors may name TPS in their will or as a beneficiary of a revocable trust, a retirement plan, or a life insurance policy. Unrestricted gifts are generally added to the school's endowment, while other donors may wish to establish and name a new fund. Making a bequest can be as simple as using this language in your will: I give, devise and bequeath to Tuxedo Park School, a nonprofit corporation in Tuxedo Park, New York the sum of $_____(or _____% of the residue of my estate).
