What does it mean to be a BCD student? BCD Students Are... Adventurous.
Developing the whole child is another hallmark of a BCD education. Students are encouraged to spread their wings and develop their talents.
“BCD is the ideal school for the motivated, high-achieving, creative and caring child.”– BCD Preschool teacher
Gifts of Cash
Gifts of cash are the most common and often the easiest way to give to the school. Pledges also can be made and paid in installments. Boulder Country Day accepts gifts of cash in the form of check, VISA, and MasterCard.
Stock
Gifts of appreciated securities or stock can be one of the most advantageous ways of giving. If your gift of stock is one you have owned for more than a year, you may deduct its full fair market value as a charitable contribution while bypassing all capital gains taxes. This gift enables many of our supporters to contribute far more to the school than otherwise would be possible.
Bequest
A General Bequest is a gift of cash satisfied from an estate's general assets. When a portion or all of the remainder of an estate is directed to the school after payment of expenses, debt, and general bequests, it is done through a Residual Bequest.
Life Insurance
A unique way to give is through an existing "paid up" life insurance policy. This allows the donor to make a significant contribution to the school while receiving tax benefits equal to the replacement value or cost basis of the policy, whichever is less.
Charitable Remainder Trust
The Charitable Lead Trust is another way to benefit your family and Boulder Country Day. With this type of trust, you "loan" an asset to the school for a set term of years. The school uses the "lead income" for the designated period of years; after that time, the asset comes back to you or your heirs with favorable tax consequences.
Gifts in Kind
Any gift of a service or an item needed by the school, such as computer technology, art supplies, or athletic equipment, is considered a Gift In Kind. These contributions have enabled the school to stretch its limited resources to provide a quality education to our students.
Memorial and Honor Gifts
Many Boulder Country Day alumni and friends of the school have chosen to honor a family member, loved one, or friend by making a contribution in their name. These gifts are a wonderful way to remember or honor someone special while providing scholarship support to current and future students.
