A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is like a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting organizations you care about, like Brookwood. We invite you to consider directing these dollars to support Brookwood School.

Double the impact! Corporate matching gifts are a type of philanthropy in which companies financially match donations that their employees make to nonprofit organizations. Click here or contact your human resources department to ask if they have a matching gift program. As a donor, you will receive donor credit for the original gift and the amount of the match.

Making a planned or estate gift is a wonderful way to show your support and appreciation for Brookwood School while accommodating your own personal, financial, estate-planning, and philanthropic goals. With smart planning, you may actually increase the size of your estate and/or reduce the tax burden on your heirs. Just as important, you will know that you have made a meaningful and impactful contribution to Brookwood.

As always, contact your financial advisor for guidance and feel free to contact us to discuss your objectives.
