By Check
Cash gifts provide income tax benefits if you itemize your deductions. Please address gifts to The Berkeley Carroll School, Development Office, 808 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215.
By Credit Card
Paying by Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or Am Ex allows you to take advantage of rewards programs. You can make a credit card gift just by clicking on the Online Giving link.
Recurring Gifts
You can spread your payments over several months, making it possible to give a more significant amount than might otherwise be possible. If you would like to make your payments over time, we would be happy to set up a monthly or quarterly recurring gift and charge your credit card. Just contact contact Blakely Offutt at 718-534-6589 (boffutt@berkeleycarroll.org).
Appreciated Securities
Gifts of stocks, bonds or other appreciated securities offer
two tax advantages to many donors. First, by contributing appreciated
securities held for more than one year, you avoid paying capital gains tax on
the appreciation. Second, you qualify for a charitable deduction on your income
tax based on the value of the securities on the date you make a gift. A gift of
securities is one of the more attractive ways of making a gift to Berkeley
Carroll.
To ensure a smooth transfer of stock, please follow these
guidelines:
Notify Blakely Offutt, at
718-534-6589 or boffutt@berkeleycarroll.org with the name
of the stock that will be transferred, the number of shares, and the
approximate date when you expect the transfer to be made.
If the stock is held in a brokerage
account, please have your broker contact:

being made, and let us know to whom we should send notification
of your gift.
