How to Give

Making a gift online is both quick and easy. Foothill Country Day School is an IRS 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, so your donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.  

 

Double the impact of your support with a match gift from your employer. Call your employer’s Human Resources Office to find out if they will make a philanthropic match.

 

• • Use stocks, bonds or mutual funds that you’ve owned for at least one year and have appreciated in value
  • Transfer the appreciated securities directly to Foothill – don’t sell them; you avoid paying tax on the capital gain when you give the shares to a non-profit charitable organization
  • FCDS, in turn, will sell the shares and no taxes will be due on the gain because 501(c)(3) charities like FCDS are tax-exempt
  • You can take an income tax charitable deduction for the fair market value of the shares transferred, up to 30% of your adjusted gross income
  • You can carry forward any unused deduction for an additional five year
