Ways to Give

Giving to Make a Difference

Charitable gifts to EVSC Foundation make a lasting difference in the present and the future of the EVSC community. Beyond the personal satisfaction of making a difference in the lives of students, gifts to EVSC Foundation are tax deductible within the guidelines of the IRS. There are many ways to give that allow you to make a greater impact.

Cash Gifts

Cash contributions to EVSC Foundation are tax deductible within the guidelines of the IRS. Simply send a check or money order to EVSC Foundation, 1 SE Ninth St, Evansville IN 47708. If you prefer to donate by credit card, please go to Donate Now.

Gifts of Stocks, Bonds, Real Estate

Rather than selling appreciated capital gain property such as stocks, bonds, real estate, etc, that has been held for one year or longer and donating the proceeds in cash, ownership of the asset can be transferred to EVSC Foundation. Using this method to donate, charitable deductions are based on the fair market value of the assets at the time of the transfer, avoiding income taxes that would be paid by the donor if the asset was sold prior to donating the proceeds.

Living Wills and Trusts

While a bequest in a will or trust provides no income tax advantage immediately, it is a simple way to give and reduces estate and inheritance taxes in the future. Any part, piece, or percentage of trust assets or estate can be left to EVSC Foundation. It is very important that the appropriate and specific naming language is used in the will or trust. Please contact EVSC Foundation to ensure your generous donation is properly documented.

Charitable Annuity Trust

If the retention of a lifetime stream of income is desired, consider establishing a charitable gift annuity. Deferred gift giving can help meet your income needs while providing a present charitable deduction and supporting quality education in the future.

Personal Real Property

Retention of a personal residence or farm for a lifetime or that of an heir is possible while qualifying for a charitable deduction in the same calendar year in which you make the irrevocable gift to the Foundation. Vacation and summer homes as well as primary residences qualify for this deduction.

Endowments for Lasting Giving

Endowments provide a long lasting impact for the School Corporation. An endowed fund can support programs such as scholarships, school programs, technology advancement and many more needs in perpetuity. The principal of an endowed fund is invested to build value over time while also providing annual support from a portion of the investment returns.
