Gifts of Cash
Checks should be made payable to The Besant Hill School.

Credit Card
Campaign gifts may be made on a credit card. We accept VISA. MasterCard, and American Express. A credit card donation can be made online or by calling (805) 646-4343 ext. 422 and asking for Randy Bertin, Director of Advancement. This will assure accuracy and confidentiality.

Securities
Gifts of securities can provide attractive tax advantages: capital gains taxes may be avoided, and the full market value of the stock can be tax-deductible. For more information on how to transfer securities, donors or their brokers should contact Randy Bertin in the Advancement Office.

Pledges
Some donors prefer to make a single payment, but for many, monthly, quarterly, bi-annual, or even multi-year pledges (for larger capital donations, $25,000 +, usually over 5 years) are an effective way to increase your support to Besant Hill. The entire amount of the gift is credited to the Campaign total at time of pledge.

Planned Giving
Planned giving is an important option for supporting BHS during the Campaign and beyond. Donors can include BHS in their estate plans.

Some Planned Giving options include:

• Charitable remainder trusts
• Charitable lead trusts
• Charitable gift annuities
• Property
• Gifts of life insurance policies
• Bequests
• Retirement Accounts
