Maximze your giving to the SHS Scholarships

:
There are ways that donors to the SHS Scholarships can maximize the value of their giving and protect their personal financial interests!

You can contribute to the SHS Scholarships for local use or you can contribute to The Government for distribution across the nation as our elected officials see fit.

- Tax deductible contributions to the SHS Scholarships
- Gift annuities to the SHS Scholarships
- Charitable remainder trusts

The Springfield Foundation, managers of the SHS Scholarships, provides confidential and professional assistance to our donors and their financial advisors in developing tax-efficient, and sometimes income-producing, approaches to supporting the SHS Scholarships. Gift annuities, charitable lead annuity trusts, and charitable remainder trusts can all be attractive options in today’s low-interest-rate environment. The Foundation staff can advise you on the best option for your needs.

Despite the drop in the market, assets that have been held over the long term can still generate significant capital gains taxes; donors may be able to avoid this cost by transferring the assets to the SHS Scholarships. For donors whose present financial flexibility has been limited by the economy, there are many ways to create a legacy, from designating the SHS Scholarships as the ultimate beneficiary of their retirement plans to bequests of personal property. More information on many of these options can be found by contacting Horton Hobbs at The Springfield Foundation.

Thanks for your support now and in the years ahead . . . Jack Hutslar
