When considering a gift to the Camping and Education Foundation, there are many opportunities that will not only advance the Foundation’s mission and its programs, but may also provide you a tax-deductible contribution. While the Camping and Education Foundation is grateful for all contributions, the following types of gifts are especially appreciated:

Unrestricted gifts of cash in support of the Annual Fund and Endowment are the most popular and easiest way to support the Camping and Education Foundation mission. Gifts may be made in a single contribution or pledged and paid in installments.		The impact of a contribution can be greatly increased by a matching employer gift. When considering a donation, consult with your employer, and if applicable, forward the completed matching gift form to the development office with your contribution. A matching gift can dramatically increase your support for the Foundation.
Gifts of stocks or securities benefit you and the school. This type of gift is tax-deductible and you may avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciated stock or security. Often a gift of appreciated stock offers tax benefits to the donor. Not only can the donor take a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the stock, capital gains tax on the appreciation can be avoided. Donors are advised to consult with their own legal, tax, and estate planning professionals when considering gifts other than cash.		The Camping and Education Foundation encourages and appreciates future gifts made through one’s estate. Bequests are the most common way for donors to make their ultimate gift to the Foundation.
