How to Give

Giving to our cause can be done either directly or through a gift model that can provide tax benefits and even income. Any gift can be designated to Salem Academy only, Salem College only, or jointly to Salem Academy and College, with percentages based on donor's directives.

• Bequest
  You designate our organization as the beneficiary of your asset by will, trust, or beneficiary designation form.
  
• IRA Rollover
  Congress has enacted a permanent IRA charitable rollover. As a result, you can make an IRA rollover gift this year and in future years.
  
• Donor Advised Funds
  You fund a DAF and make charitable gift recommendations during your lifetime. When you pass away, your children can carry on your legacy of giving.
  
• Beneficiary Designation Gifts
  You can designate us as a beneficiary of a retirement, investment or bank account, or your life insurance policy.
  
• Charitable Remainder Unitrust
  You transfer your cash or appreciated property to fund a charitable remainder unitrust. The trust sells your property tax-free and provides you with income for life or a term of years.
  
• Charitable Lead Trust
  You fund a trust that makes gifts to us for a number of years. Your family receives the trust remainder at substantial tax savings.
  
• Life Estate Reserved
  You give your property to our organization but retain the right to use the property during your life.
  
• Gift and Bequest
  A gift and bequest is a combination of a current gift and a charitable gift made in your will or trust. It is an easy way to support our cause today and make a lasting future impact.
  
• Endowment Gifts
  An endowment is a fund you can create now or in the future to achieve the impact you desire.
  
• IRA to Gift Annuity Rollover
  You may be looking for a way to help further our mission and enhance your income. If you are 70½ or older, you can make a one-time IRA rollover to fund a charitable gift annuity and receive fixed payments for life.
