Ways to Give
Cash, Check or Credit Card
Gifts of cash, typically payable by check, and credit card gifts are tax deductible and provide immediate funds to the school.
Please send your check to:
Katherine Delmar Burke School
Development Office
7070 California Street
San Francisco, CA 94121
Matching Gift
Many companies offer their employees the opportunity to double or, in some cases, triple their gifts to certain programs or organizations by matching them. Please check with your employer about their Matching Gift Program.
Securities and Property
Gifts of stocks, other securities or property have two significant advantages to the donor -- they are tax deductible for the full fair market value of the gift when it is made, and the donor does not pay capital gains on the appreciated value of the stock or property. Download form and instructions to make a gift of securities or property.
Planned Giving
The Barbara Burke Legacy Society honors alumnae, past parents, grandparents, current parents and friends who have remembered Burke’s by bequest in their estate plans or who have made a life income gift or other type of planned gift. You can become a member by:
- placing Burke’s in your will
- making Burke’s the beneficiary of a retirement account
- making a gift of life insurance policy
- creating a charitable gift annuity
- establishing a charitable trust
- making a gift of real estate or other tangible property
Other Deferred Gifts
It is possible to make gifts of property that may allow income tax benefits for the donor during his or her lifetime, may be used during the lifetime of the donor, and which would revert to Burke's, with possible estate tax savings. Institutions can achieve stability and growth through planned giving. Contact your tax advisor for specific advice that relates to your particular circumstances.
Please notify the Development Office if you have made a bequest to Burke’s so that you will be included in The Barbara Burke’s Legacy Society.
Gifts in Kind
Burke's welcomes donations such as classroom supplies, athletic equipment and other items related to the educational program, as well as donations of auction items to the annual Dinner Auction. Gift value is determined by the donor through appraisal or a record of purchase. Please contact the Development Office if you would like to make a gift in kind.
