You can leave a legacy for a lifetime! Planned giving options include bequests, insurance policies, charitable lead trusts, charitable remainder trusts, charitable gift annuities, and beneficiary designations. We partner with the Vermont Community Foundation to manage our school’s endowment and planned giving program. These future-oriented ways to invest in our school provide lasting impact. When you are ready to consider a planned gift, please contact Bryen Fabry Dorsam.

• Bequests: The simplest form of planned giving is through a bequest in your will. Bequests are exempt from estate taxation and allow for a much larger gift to be made than might be possible during your lifetime. A bequest can be property, a fixed dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after other recipients are named. Simply add this language to your will: “I give, devise, and bequeath $________ (or a percentage of your estate) to Lake Champlain Waldorf School, a non-profit organization based in Shelburne, Vermont.”

• Charitable Gift Annuity: When you establish a charitable gift annuity, you provide future support to Lake Champlain Waldorf School that will last for generations. In addition, you enjoy immediate income tax savings and a dependable fixed income for life, much of which may not be subject to income taxes. A CGA is a stable investment opportunity that can also satisfy your philanthropic priorities. Through the VCF you can purchase an annuity that will provide you with an annual income source for the duration of your lifetime. After that time, the annuity is gifted to Lake Champlain Waldorf School.

• Endowment: Contributions to Lake Champlain Waldorf School’s endowment, held at the Vermont Community Foundation, are there “forever.” A set percentage of the interest from the endowment is made available each year to benefit the school. Gifts to the endowment can be made at any time.
