• Leadership Giving Circles

  Leadership Giving Circles honour donors who contribute $5,000 or more to SJK. These gifts drive meaningful progress by supporting the school’s key programs and strategic priorities, directly benefiting students and strengthening the community.
  
  Membership in a Circle reflects a commitment to the long-term success of SJK and demonstrates leadership in philanthropy.
  
  We thank all members of the Leadership Giving Circles; your support makes a lasting impact, both today and for generations to come.

• Donor-Advised Funds

  A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a personal charitable account that allows you to make donations into your fund (tax receipt eligible) and recommend grants over time to the causes you care about. DAFs are typically managed by community foundations or private foundations and offer flexibility and convenience for donors.
  
  

  SJK welcomes grants through DAFs, an easy and effective way for you to support the resources and experiences that make learning come alive for our students.
  
  

  If you have a DAF, you can direct the administrator of your fund to make a grant to St. John’s-Kilmarnock School Foundation (Charitable Registration # 853502169 RR 0001).
  
  

  To establish a DAF, we recommend you consult your financial advisor or your local community foundation.
  
  

  If you donate via a DAF, please let us know so we can acknowledge your generosity personally.
  
  

  Please email advancement@sjkschool.org or call (519) 648-2183 with any questions, or to share that you are initiating a donation via a DAF.

• Stocks and Securities

  Stock Options 

  Donors receive a charitable tax receipt for the fair market value of the stock donated, eliminating the tax liability related to exercising the options, and the employee benefit taxes. To do so, donate stock options within the 30-day period after you have exercised them while staying within the same calendar year.
  
  Securities Transfers

  These include stocks, mutual funds, segregated funds, bonds, flow-through shares, and employee stock options. You can donate now, or through your estate and will planning. Consult your financial advisor to decide how you would like to donate and have the most impact. Ask your broker to transfer your securities to SJK by completing the transfer form.
  
  Please let us know that you are initiating a transfer; you can email advancement@sjkschool.org or call (519) 648-2183. Once the transfer is complete, we will provide a receipt for income tax purposes. 
  
  

  Physical Share Certificates Transfer

  Shares may be donated to SJK. A Letter of Authorization Form is to be signed, witnessed and guaranteed by a Chartered Bank.

  
  For more information, please contact advancement@sjkschool.org.

• Leaving a Legacy

  Your life, your values, your legacy. Through a legacy gift, your belief in education lives on and you ensure the spirit of SJK continues to inspire and transform young lives. With your gift, you will shape futures beyond your lifetime.
  
  Please talk to your financial advisor about the most effective way to make an extraordinary legacy gift. It may be as simple as remembering SJK in your will: you can leave a gift in your will of a specific amount, or assets like stocks, or a percentage of your estate.

• Tribute Gifts

  Donate In Honour
  Graduation, birthday, Christmas and other special occasions where gifts are exchanged are a great time to honour a student, a family member, or to recognize one of SJK’s faculty, staff or board members.

  
  Donate in Memory
  To remember a loved one who has passed, a gift may be made in their name. 
  
  For more information, please email advancement@sjkschool.org or call (519) 648-2183.

• Endowment Funds

  When a donation is directed to establish an endowment, it creates a charitable investment that supports the school with the annual income that it generates. Through annual reinvestment of a portion of the income, an endowment fund becomes a permanent legacy, providing annual support to SJK.
  
  

  In recognition of your legacy gift, an endowment fund can be named in your honour, or it may honour a loved one. It can support the highest priority needs of the school or you may choose a specific area of need. 

  
  Contributions to an endowment fund can be made through a multi-year pledge, a one-time gift, a combined-donor/family/classmate gift or a bequest.
  
  

  To establish an endowment:

  Speak with your financial advisor about what works best for you.
  Contact SJK’s Executive Director of Advancement who will work with you to determine where your gift will have a lasting impact. 

• Corporate Matching Gifts

  Many employers offer matching gifts for your donations. It’s a wonderful—and easy—way to potentially double your impact. Your HR department (or equivalent) may be able to advise you on the corporate policy.

• Gifts from Donors in the United States

  Friends of Independent Schools for Better Education, FRISBE, is a registered US charity, formed to assist Independent Schools in Canada, like SJK, to receive donations from alumni and friends now living in the United States. Since US citizens can generally receive an income tax deduction only when they donate to a registered US charity, FRISBE accepts the donation and facilitates its transfer to SJK.

  
  Grants are approved by the FRISBE Board in March and September each year.
  
  To donate through FRISBE, please fill out this form.
