Planned
Gifts
A planned gift is made when a donor makes provisions now (such
as a bequest in a will or gift of life insurance) for a gift to
High Meadows later. Planned gifts ensure that High Meadows will
continue to offer an unparalleled education to its students for
generations to come.
Most planned gifts are made through estate planning vehicles such
as wills, trusts, real estate, life insurance, and other deferred
arrangements. In addition to providing future support to the charity,
planned gifts can be structured to offer income and estate tax
benefits to the donor. Consult your financial advisor to discuss
your individual situation.
Please contact Julie McCarren in our Development
Department at (770) 993-2940 for more information on making a planned
gift to High Meadows, or if you have already made provisions
for a planned gift.
Unrestricted gifts ensure that funds are available for the areas
of highest priority and greatest need. On the other hand, targeted,
or restricted, gifts are donor-directed contributions given with
the intent of funding specific needs or programs. Usually these
gifts are of a size that covers most or all of the cost of the
particular need or program. An example of a targeted gift is
the Henry-Aspinall Scholarship Fund, which was made possible
by a donor
who had a particular interest in providing seed money for a scholarship
fund. High Meadows is able to accept targeted gifts consistent
with the school’s mission, goals, and development priorities.
Henry/Aspinall Scholarship Fund
To
promote diversity and assist those in financial need, the Henry/Aspinall
Scholarship Fund was created in 1999 with a donation
from one family
and matching funds from BellSouth. Scholarships are awarded to
recipients based on the candidate’s demonstrated financial
need.
If you are interested in contributing to the fund, or in receiving
application guidelines, please contact Julie McCarren in our Development Department at (770) 993-2940.
