A donor advised fund (DAF), which is like a charitable savings account, gives you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to St. Paul Academy and Summit School and other qualified charities. You can recommend a grant or recurring grants now to make an immediate impact or use your fund as a tool for future charitable gifts. Please consult your DAF sponsor to recommend a grant in support of SPA.

Please be sure to notify the school of any transfers you make, as it is difficult for us to know where transfers have originated once we have received them.  Most importantly, we need to know which stock you have donated.  Then we can properly credit you and thank you for your gift.  To learn more about making a security or stock gift to St. Paul Academy and Summit School, please contact giving@spa.edu or call 651-696-1320.

Individuals who are age 70½ or older can make gifts of up to $100,000 directly from an IRA to qualified charities, such as St. Paul Academy and Summit School, without paying federal income tax on the distribution. Because such a gift is excluded from adjusted gross income, this gift option provides tax savings to donors even if they do not itemize deductions.

Here are the specifics:

• Donors must be age 70½ or older at the time the gift is made.
• It is important to use your IRA trustee's forms to designate your distribution. Do not withdraw the funds before making a gift. The time it takes for the IRA trustee to transfer funds may vary.
• An individual’s total qualified charitable distributions cannot exceed $100,000 per year.
• Gifts can be used to satisfy the donor’s required minimum distribution.
• Instead of taking a charitable income tax deduction for the gift, donors exclude the distribution from their income.
• Qualified charitable distributions can only be made from a traditional (non-Roth) IRA, not 401(k)s or other retirement accounts.
• Donors cannot receive goods or services, or a personal benefit in return for an IRA charitable distribution.

St. Paul Academy and Summit School does not provide legal or tax advice. Donors should consult their own professional tax advisor before making a gift.

Please contact Alyse Simondet at 651-696-1320 or by email if you have any questions or need additional information. 

Sustainers make ongoing, monthly gifts to SPA by credit card or automatic deposit. Please call us at 651-696-1302 to become a Sustainer or set up your gift using the online giving form.

Monthly giving helps you maximize your Annual Fund gift by incorporating it into your monthly budget. You can automatically direct your monthly gift from your credit card. Your gift arrives on time, without the stress of remembering to give.

Additional support to the Annual Fund is provided every year through the generosity of corporate matching gift programs that make it possible for employees to increase the value of their gifts. The company match will be credited to you, and you will receive donor recognition for the total amount. Many corporate matching gift programs will match not only gifts of current employees, but also retirees, directors and spouses.

To find out if you are eligible, visit our searchable database for up-to-date information on companies that match gifts. Call (651) 696-1302 for more information. 

We are available to talk with you about including SPA in your long-term estate or financial plans.  Planned gifts can include bequests, real estate, personal property, life income gifts or other types of appreciated property. Visit our planned giving website for more information.

Learn more about planned gifts to SPA by contacting Alyse Simondet at 651-696-1320 or by email at asimondet@spa.edu.
