Ways To Give

Give Directly

A cash gift entitles you to a charitable deduction during the calendar year in which your gift is made. Donation checks may be sent to:

City School
1844 Teri Road
Austin, TX, 78723.

Appreciated Securities

A gift of appreciated securities entitles you to a charitable deduction equal to the fair market value of the securities, and none of the appreciation in the security is taxable to the donor.

For more information on making a stock gift, please contact Sly Guzman at [email protected].

Real Estate

A gift of appreciated real estate is similar to a gift of appreciated stock. Any type of property you have owned for more than one year qualifies as a charitable contribution at its fair market value. The asset may be given outright, or may serve as the corpus of a trust arrangement, or in the case of a personal residence, may be given with the right of lifetime tenancy by the donor and/or spouse.

For more information, please contact Sly Guzman at [email protected].

In-Kind Gifts

Sometimes, gifting an item that the school needs is helpful. We’ve received capital improvement support, furnishings, classroom supplies, kitchen equipment, and other items. A receipt is issued for all in-kind gifts; their value is determined by the donor and his or her tax advisor.

For more information, please contact Sly Guzman at [email protected].

Ways to Give

Online gifts to The City School Fund help our school fulfill our mission, invest in our students, help cover operational expenses, and keep tuition accessible. These investments in our school’s greatest needs affect the day-to-day experience for all students in four categories: Our Community, Our Campus, Core Academics, and Campus Improvement Projects. You can also multiply the impact of your giving by making a monthly recurring gift! Each time you give, you’ll know that you are making a difference for all of our students.
