There are many ways to fulfill your charitable intentions and provide immediate and future benefits to the School and your family. A well-structured charitable plan can last for generations and may allow you to be even more generous than you thought possible.
Many choose to make credit card gifts online through our secure donation forms. To give online, click Give Online.
Most donors make outright cash contributions. The School gratefully accepts cash gifts, including checks and the major credit cards: VISA, American Express, and MasterCard. A cash gift entitles the donor to an income tax deduction in the year of the gift.
Please make your check payable to Palmer Trinity School and send to:

Palmer Trinity School is accepting donations of cryptocurrency thanks to our secure, online donation platform provided by our friends at Engiven. Your support makes an impact on our students, faculty, and staff every day. For charitably minded individuals, cryptocurrency investments held more than one year may provide a unique opportunity to donate highly appreciated assets to achieve maximum impact with charitable giving.
Donating long-term held cryptocurrency investments can potentially eliminate the capital gains tax you would incur if you sold the assets yourself and donated the proceeds. which may increase the amount available for charity by up to 20%. Second, if you itemize deductions on your tax return instead of taking the standard deduction, you may claim a fair market value charitable deduction for the tax year in which the gift is made. Read more about cryptocurrency donation.
As an employee benefit, more than 550 American corporations match their staffs’ philanthropic contributions, allowing employees to double or triple their dollars. To see if your gift qualifies for a match, please visit Palmer Trinity and/or contact your company’s human resources department.
Through an income interest gift, a donor may contribute the income for an asset while retaining ownership of that asset. In this case, the School receives income for a designated period of years, after which the asset and any subsequent income returns to the donor, his or her spouse, children, or another designated individual. This form offers both immediate and future tax advantages.
Many donors take advantage of the personal tax benefits of organizing a planned gift. The attraction of irrevocable planned gifts is that they are deferred. You part with an asset today, but the actual giving of the asset to Palmer Trinity School is put off for a while, often until after your lifetime (and that of a beneficiary, if you wish). Until that time, the donor receives benefits from the gift. Read more about Planned Giving options.
For any questions regarding planned giving, email us, or at call (305) 969-4210.
Your time is a precious gift. For information on how you can get more involved, click Volunteer.
