Many employers often will double or triple your contribution to PDS. Each year PDS receives more than $100,000 from matching gift programs. The process is simple, and the money it generates greatly benefits PDS.
Planned Giving
Bequests, large and small, are a significant source of support at PDS. A legal disposition by will, which names PDS as the recipient of all or a portion of the donor's estate, not only helps the School, but usually reduces the donor's federal estate taxes, and in most cases state inheritance taxes as well. The donor may specify that the School receive a percentage, an asset, a specific dollar amount, or a remainder of his or her estate. Frequently a donor may set up a charitable arrangement designating the income for life to another person and the principal ultimately to PDS. Please contact Ann Wiley ’70, Database Manager, at (609) 924-6700 ext. 1260 for additional information.
