Ways to Give

When you lend your support, you are investing in the opportunities and tools that will help prepare Landon boys to become the next generation of leaders.

Financial Gifts

All gifts to Landon are tax-deductible and there are many ways to make a gift, including:

Donor Advised Funds

Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) are very effective charitable giving vehicles whereby donors set aside money to be granted to charitable organizations.

You can support Landon through a DAF grant. When processing a DAF grant through a charitable giving account, search for Landon School by its tax ID number (52-0635092). Landon School typically receives DAF grant checks within two weeks and credits the donor immediately upon receipt.

Transfer Stock and Securities

You may transfer your stocks and securities directly to Landon.  For all stock and cash gifts, the donor name and cost basis must be referenced on all deliveries. Wire transfer your stock to Landon School’s account with Brown Advisory via Fidelity Investments. 

To initiate this process, follow the DTC Instructions:

Fidelity Investments

Corporate Matching Gifts

Planned Giving

The most popular method for individuals to support Landon through planned giving continues to be through bequests.

These bequests can take the form of gifts of cash, securities, real estate, or other assets through a will. Some choose to leave a designated sum or asset, while others decide to leave a percentage of a residuary estate. The value of a bequest to Landon is fully deductible for tax purposes.

Landon School can be listed as a beneficiary and/or owner of a life insurance policy. By naming Landon as the owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy, you will receive an income tax charitable deduction, and the value of the policy will not be included in your taxable estate. Landon also accepts fully “paid up” policies, meaning there are no more premiums to pay.

For more information, please contact Director of Development Peter J. Gallo, Ph.D. at peter_gallo@landon.net or 301-320-1004.

Retirement Plans and IRAs

A retirement plan, such as an IRA, can be a smart source for charitable giving. Below are two tax-efficient options for making a gift from your IRA during your lifetime or through your estate:

Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)

If you are 70½ years or older, an IRA charitable rollover gift allows you to direct up to $100,000* tax-free to Landon each year from your traditional IRA, which satisfies your required minimum distribution and reduces your taxable income. Contact your IRA custodian to request a direct distribution to Landon School.

*Married taxpayers who meet QCD requirements and file joint returns can donate $100,000 from each spouse’s IRA, for a total of $200,000 annually.

Beneficiary Designation

You can designate Landon School as a primary, contingent, or co-beneficiary of your IRA or other retirement plan. You reduce your taxable estate and avoid income tax, while Landon receives the full amount of the untaxed gift. Simply request a beneficiary designation form from your plan custodian or bank branch.
