Ways to Give

Use our online giving form to donate via credit card or direct debit.

We welcome cash, gifts by check, credit card, or direct debit. Checks should be made payable to La Scuola International School and sent directly to our Advancement Office at 3250 18th Street, San Francisco, CA. 94110.

Donors who wish to contribute, but do not wish to make an immediate payment, may make a pledge. A pledge is a promise to make a specified payment within the campaign period, either in installments or as a single payment on a specified date.  Pledges can be made by emailing advancement@lascuolasf.org or using the online giving form. Pledge reminder letters will be mailed annually or at the times requested in your pledge.

A gift of stock or appreciated securities can offer greater tax savings than a cash gift. Making a gift of securities is both simple and tax efficient. Gifts of appreciated stock may allow a donor to avoid a capital gains tax in addition to receiving a charitable income tax deduction for the fair market value of the stock. To initiate a gift of stock, we ask that you follow the instructions on the Stock and Wire Transfer form. (Please download below.)

Please contact the Advancement Office at advancement@lascuolasf.org to notify us in advance of the transfer with the specific details.

La Scuola accepts gifts-in-kind if they can be used in support of the mission of our school. Such gifts might take the form of inventory given through businesses owned by donors. In addition, we welcome gifts-in-kind for our annual fundraising gala and auction, La Dolce Vita.

Does your employer match gifts? There is tremendous power in matching gifts, and many organizations have a matching gift program that can double or even triple the value of your gift. The matching gift must be initiated by you once you have contributed to La Scuola. Check here to see if your employer will match your gift!

A residence, vacation home, acreage or vacant lot may have so appreciated in value through the years that its sale would mean a sizable capital gains tax. By making a gift of this property instead, a donor could avoid the capital gains tax, and, at the same time, receive a charitable deduction for the fair market value of the property.

A gift or bequest in your estate planning can provide significant opportunities for future La Scuola students. If you are interested in including La Scuola in your estate plans, please contact the Advancement Office at advancement@lascuolasf.org.

Through our Community Partners and Retail Rebate Programs, you can support La Scuola while you shop! Each of these merchants will donate a portion of your purchases to the school at no additional cost to you.
