Matching Gifts
Donors are encouraged to contact their employer to take advantage of any matching gift programs offered. Having an employer match a gift leverages your gift to a higher level. -
Securities
Appreciated securities are an excellent asset to use in making a charitable gift. You can maximize tax savings by receiving an income tax charitable deduction for the fair market value of the appreciated securities, and you may avoid capital gains tax. -
Bequests/Planned Gift
There are many kinds of planned gifts, including, but not limited to: simple bequests in a will or an estate plan, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, and non-cash assets.

Legacy Society
Leave a legacy to Villa and become a member of The Legacy Society.
At Villa Madonna Academy, children receive more than an outstanding academic experience; they receive an education grounded in Benedictine tradition. Reverence and peace, scholarship, service, and community are more than just words; they are the way we live, work, and learn.
Ensuring the legacy of excellence of a Benedictine education at Villa is important and worthy of consideration. The meaningful experience you had is still happening today and will be just as meaningful to young people tomorrow.
A legacy gift to Villa will ensure the future of the school. Even a small donation over several years can be more meaningful than you imagined. And, you can leave a gift to Villa Madonna Academy and still take care of your loved ones. Both are possible, and in some cases, a charitable gift may have tax and planning benefits, in addition to helping Villa and its students.
Those who name Villa Madonna Academy in their estate plans are members of a small but important group called The Legacy Society. You, too, can be a member. Please let us know if you have named Villa in your estate plan, and we will be honored to include you as well.
You don’t have to wait. You can begin today.
It is not too soon to arrange for a legacy gift. First, make sure you have a will and appropriate estate plan. Without one, you lose the opportunity to control what happens to your assets and possessions. Those decisions will be made by state law. Second, contact a trusted financial advisor, attorney, or accountant. Ask for advice for providing a charitable gift to Villa Madonna Academy. There are many options besides a cash gift. Several are listed below. Please consider one as your legacy.
