Parish Fund

Please visit our Give Online page for an easy and secure way to make one-time gifts or recurring gifts to Parish using a credit card. Or, to make your gift by check, please make payable to: Parish Episcopal School and mail your check to:

Many donors prefer to spread out gift payments over a period of time. A pledge may allow you to contribute more significantly to Parish Fund or other campaigns, while extending tax advantages over time. To make a pledge, please visit Give Online. We ask that Parish Fund pledges be paid in full by May 31 of that school year.

Parish gladly accepts gifts of securities. For instructions on handling gifts of securities or wiring funds directly to the School, please click here. In advance of the gift, to ensure proper documentation and receipting, it is important that you or your financial advisor contact Kristen Twomey, Assistant Director of Development, at ktwomey@parish.org.

Many corporations have a matching gift program where they will match your gift to our School. This match can double, triple or even quadruple the amount of your gift! Ask your HR or community relations office if your company has a matching gift policy.

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that allows you to make an upfront contribution, claim an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants to eligible IRS-qualified nonprofits over time.

Parish Fund welcomes philanthropic gifts from DAFs. However, it is important to note that DAFs should not be used for booster club memberships or Parish Gala/Bingo Night tickets or sponsorships. DAFs are encouraged when the contribution is 100% tax-deductible and no benefits are received. Contact Kristen Twomey, ktwomey@parish.org, if you need assistance with making a gift from your DAF.

If you are 70½ or older, you may be interested in a way to lower the income and taxes from your IRA withdrawals. With a charitable IRA rollover, you will benefit this year while also providing a charitable gift to Parish. Contact your IRA plan administrator to make a gift from your IRA to Parish. Your IRA funds will be directly transferred to the School. It is important to note that charitable IRA rollover gifts do not qualify for a charitable deduction.
