Your gift can make twice the difference. Whether you choose to support The Sanford Fund, which helps fund our annual operating budget, contribute to our endowment, or advance the capital improvements to campus that are part of The Exceptionally Sanford Campaign, every dollar brings us closer to unlocking this generous match.
Join your fellow Warriors and help us meet the challenge before the year ends!

Ways to Give
List of 3 items.
-
Credit Card
Donate securely online by credit card. Make a one-time gift or set up a recurring gift plan. With a recurring gift, choose the amount and the frequency that you'd like to donate to Sanford; just "set it and forget it." Should you ever need to change your recurring plan, contact Jody Cross in the Development Office. -
Corporate Matching Gift
Check with your employer or HR department to see if they have a corporate matching gift program that will match your donation. If so, apply for a matching grant following your company's rules. Let us know you've applied for a matching grant so that we can thank you. -
IRA Gifts
Give to Sanford School through your Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Those who are at retirement age need to take a required minimum distribution (RMD) each year. Contact your retirement account administrator to direct all or part of your required minimum distribution (RMD) to Sanford. Because Sanford is an IRS-qualified charity, this is called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). With a QCD, the amount donated is not reported as taxable income, even if you do not itemize deductions. In this way, Qualified Charitable Distributions can offer greater tax savings. Sanford’s EIN is 51-0064331.

Sanford is an IRS-qualified charity. Our EIN is 51-0064331. Recommend a grant to Sanford from your Donor Advised Fund today. -
