Recurring Gifts
A set amount can be given at regular intervals, such as monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually. These gifts are often arranged through an employer by payroll-deduction (with or without a company matching gift component). Arrangements are also often made through one’s bank, investment manager, PayPal, or credit card company.
Securities
Gifts of appreciated securities and closely held stock can be extremely beneficial—both to our donors and to Lakehill Preparatory School. Donors may receive an income-tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the securities, as well as reduce or eliminate capital gains taxes. Lakehill Preparatory School has no tax liability on gifts of appreciated securities.
Gifts of stock and mutual funds are coordinated by the Office of Development at 214-826-2931.
Corporate Matching Gifts
Many corporations offer matching gift programs to their employees and their families. Matching gift support often doubles or triples an individual’s gift, and all matching support is credited to the individual and their class participation for the Annual Fund Campaign.
Check with your company’s human resources office to determine if your gift is eligible for a match, and your company’s process. The Development Office will certify receipt of your gift and return any necessary paperwork to your company.
Planned Giving
Through considerate planning, donors of planned gifts can support the needs of Lakehill students for years to come. There are almost as many ways to make a gift as there are needs for our students. The Development Office at Lakehill can provide individuals and their professional advisers with information and assistance in setting up different planned giving options.
Bequests
This is one of the simplest and most popular ways to give.

Mineral Interest Gifts
Gifts of mineral interests can offer donors unique tax benefits.
Memorial and Honorary Gifts
Consider making a gift in honor of a friend, colleague, or family member whose life has been touched by Lakehill Preparatory School. When memorial gifts are received, the Office of Development notifies the honoree’s family of your thoughtfulness.
Donor Advised Funds
This is a popular vehicle that allows donors access to the giving power of a private foundation without the complexity or the expense.
