St. Paul's welcomes the charitable support of our mission and encourages parents, alumni, grandparents and friends to explore these, among other, tax-deductible gift options.

• Annual Fund --The Annual Fund is the foundation of philanthropy at St. Paul's Episcopal Day School. Gifts from the St. Paul's community impact every aspect of the school, providing the resources to meet daily operational needs and supporting top priorities in Academic Programs, Faculty Support, and Financial Aid. Donors to the Annual Fund Campaign may designate their gifts to a specific need. Gifts made between July 1 and June 30 will be recognized in the current fiscal year.

• Endowment Fund --The Endowment Fund is a sum of money that is kept in perpetuity to provide annual income for St. Paul’s.  The Endowment includes several funds including the Tuition Assistance Fund, Building Maintenance Fund, and Unrestricted Fund.  With a minimum donation of $100,000, donors may establish a named fund for a specific purpose.  Current named funds include the Callison Family Library Learning Resource Endowment, the Lathrop M. Gates Faculty Enrichment Endowment, the David & Krista Peterson Technology Endowment and the Ward Maintenance Fund.  Unless otherwise specified, all memorial gifts will go to the Tuition Assistance Fund of the Endowment.  If you wish to discuss a named endowment fund, please call the Development Office at 816-268-6537.
• Gifts In Kind -- Gifts in kind are needed goods and services rather than money.  Gifts in kind could be computers, musical instruments, books, printing services, and more.  If you are interested in making an in kind donation, please contact the Development Office for a list of items needed.  Please note that because of certain regulations about valuation and tax credits, you must be sure to consult with a tax expert regarding your donation.  The IRS does not allow the school to place a monetary value on gifts in kind.
• Matching Gifts -- You may have the opportunity to increase the value of your gift if your employer has a matching gift program.  As an employee benefit, many corporations match their staff's philanthropic contributions.  Matching gifts allow you to double or triple your gifts to the school!
