School Development
Posted on December 10, 2009, by Elizabeth Belew, under School Development.
By now, most of you should have received your pledge cards and brochure for this year’s Roof Fund Drive. As of December 8th, we have $840.00 in pledges from 4 families out of 218 (2%).
If you have been a donor in the past, we offer you many thanks for your generosity and we are counting on your continued support. If you are new to the school or have not contributed in past drives, please consider becoming a part of this very worthwhile project.
Be sure to review the 2009 List of Companies with Matching Gift Programs that was included with your brochure and pledge card. Please look to see if your employer is on the list. What a great way to DOUBLE your gift to St. Elizabeth! If your employer is listed, simply contact your human resources department to obtain a matching gift form, fill it out completely and send it to the school according to your employer’s guidelines.
Those of you looking for a little help on your 2009 taxes, keep in mind that every dollar you donate to the drive is 100% TAX DEDUCTIBLE. We need to receive your donation before the end of the year for you to receive a Charitable Gift Acknowledgement letter for your 2009 taxes. Also, those of you needing additional tax deductions may want to consider a charitable donation of stock to St. Elizabeth School. If you transfer stock before December 31, you can claim the tax deduction on your tax return – of course, you should always check with your own tax advisor before making a gift of stock or securities. Please contact Elizabeth Belew at (214) 331-5139 Ext 24 or ebelew@saintspride.com if you are interested in making a gift of stock to the school.
Thank you to the following families who have already made their donations or pledges, your generosity is greatly appreciated: Belew Family, Hale Family, Walkley Family, and West Family.
