Ways to Give
Choose the giving option that’s right for you and make a lasting impact
At Rundle, philanthropy strengthens the learning experiences that shape our students every day. Whether you choose to give once, give monthly, or contribute through securities or gifts-in-kind, every gift plays a vital role in supporting exceptional programs, small class sizes, and a thriving school community. Explore the many ways you can make a meaningful impact at Rundle—and find the option that’s right for you.
A gift of appreciated securities is one of the most tax effective ways to give. When you donate securities directly to Rundle, your gift is exempt from any capital gains tax of the appreciated securities, allowing you to increase the impact of your donation.
Below is an example of potential tax advantages of donating the securities versus selling the securities and donating the proceeds.
| Cash Donation | Donate Securities Directly | |
| Fair market value | $100,000 | $100,000 |
| Adjusted cost base | ($20,000) | ($20,000) |
| Capital gain | $80,000 | $80,000 |
| Taxable gain (50% vs 0%) | $40,000 | $0 |
| Tax on capital gain (@ 53.53%) | ($21,412) | $0 |
| Tax benefit of gift (at 50.4%) | $50,400 | $50,400 |
| Net tax benefit | $28,988 | $50,400 |
| Tax savings from donating securities instead of cash | $0 | $21,412 |
| After tax cost to donate $100,000 | $71,012 | $49,600 |
These are general figures for the purposes of illustration. They do not constitute legal or financial advice. We recommend you seek appropriate professional advice before deciding on your charitable gifts.
If you wish to make a gift of securities, please use Rundle’s Donation of Gift of Securities form.
Rundle is pleased to accept gifts-in-kind if they are in alignment with our program needs or fundraising efforts. Please contact us to discuss the nature of your gift-in-kind.
Becoming a monthly donor is a simple yet powerful way to support Rundle.
Even modest contributions add up, often surpassing one-time gifts, while providing reliable funding that allows Rundle to plan strategically and invest in initiatives shaping the future of our students.
Benefits of being a monthly donor include:
- Belonging to a committed community advancing the mission of Rundle
- Reliable, ongoing impact on students and programs
- Flexible, budget-friendly, and convenient giving
- Unique and special recognition throughout the year
Monthly giving is more than a donation, it’s a meaningful way to make a difference every day.
A one-time gift is a meaningful way to support Rundle’s Annual Appeal, providing immediate funding for the programs, resources, and experiences that benefit students each year. Your generosity helps keep classes small, tuition as accessible as possible, and ensures every student continues to thrive—today and in the year ahead.
