Planned Gifts
Planned gifts to CAIS will help build an endowment, provide funding for the future, and ensure our school will always be here. With thoughtful planning, you can make a meaningful contribution to CAIS that can also have significant tax advantages.

Here are some examples of how you can make a planned gift:

  • Bequests: Give a specific item of property (e.g., cash, stock, real estate) to CAIS by adding us to a will or trust document.
  • Beneficiary Designations: Designate all or part of your IRA or other retirement accounts, bank account, or life insurance policies to CAIS by identifying us as a beneficiary.
  • IRA Charitable Rollovers: Make a tax-free gift from your individual retirement account (IRA) to CAIS.
If you are interested in making a planned gift or learning more about planned giving, please contact Berkley Summerlin, Director of Advancement, at bsummerlin@cais.org or 415-861-0366.
Donor Advised Funds

A Donor Advised Fund, or DAF, is a philanthropic vehicle through which donors may contribute to their favorite charities. Established with organizations such as Fidelity Charitable® or Schwab Charitable, contributions to a DAF are immediately tax-deductible, and are invested and grow tax-free.  After establishing a DAF, you may recommend grants to the charities of your choice at any point.

Here is a link to DAF Direct, which makes it easier to give directly from your donor-advised fund.
