You are invited to become a member of Jackson Preparatory School’s Legacy Society. Through a planned gift to benefit the future of the school, you may experience the joy of making the maximum gift at the minimum cost. Leave a legacy and maintain the tradition of excellence for future generations at Jackson Prep. Let us help you find the perfect tax-wise gift.

CURRENT ENDOWMENT GIFTS
A donation you make now can be utilized to meet our endowment needs.

Savings Bonds
- Contribute cash from matured bonds
- Receive an income tax deduction

Securities or Real Estate
- Give long-term appreciated assets
- Receive an income tax deduction and avoid capital gains tax

Bargain Sale
- Sell long-term appreciated securities or real estate to us at a price below market value
- Avoid capital gains tax on appreciation attributable to the gift portion

Charitable Lead Trust
- Fund a trust that provides payments to Jackson Prep for a term of years, then pays the remainder to family members
- Benefit us and pass principal to family with reduced estate or gift taxes

DEFERRED GIFTS
A deferred gift is a planned contribution that you arrange now but that won’t benefit Jackson Prep until later—perhaps after your lifetime. Your personal circumstances may dictate this strategy, especially if you contemplate a sizable contribution.

Bequest
- Give us money, property or a share of estate residue through your will
- Can be either outright or contingent upon death of a family member

Living or Testamentary Trust
- Create a trust that will provide payments to you or a relative for life, and then part or all of the remainder to Jackson Prep
- Provide for heirs first and us thereafter

Life Insurance
- Name Jackson Prep as the primary or contingent beneficiary
- Contribute either a new policy or one you no longer need

Qualified Retirement Plan
- Name Jackson Prep as the primary or contingent beneficiary
- Avoid twofold taxation (income and estate taxes) on distributions after your lifetime

Life estate agreement
- Deed your personal residence to us but retain life use
- Avoid the hassles of selling your property and secure current income tax savings

GIFTS THAT PAY YOU BACK
These plans ensure you (and even a survivor) payments for life as well as substantial tax savings. You can convert low-yielding assets into a higher income stream. You transfer assets to the plan now, and Jackson Prep will receive the remainder after the beneficiary’s lifetime.

Charitable Remainder Trust
- Fund with cash, securities or other assets
- Receive payments of a fixed dollar amount or a fixed percentage of trust assets annually

Charitable Gift Annuity*
- Fund with cash or other assets
- Receive fixed payments for life without investment worries
*Not available in all states
