Specified Gifts

A Donor may wish to donate to St Mary's for a specific programme or project by way of a cash donation via cheque or electronic transfer.

Unspecified Gift

The donation is made for use by the School at the Headmistress' and Board's discretion.

Bequests

The donor may wish to plan a charitable gift to St Mary's as part of their Estate Planning.

Endowed Gifts

An endowed gift is money specifically given for the purposes of the principal amount being preserved and the income derived from the capital amount used to fund various projects at the school.  The funding derived from the endowment can be allocated at the School's discretion or specified by the donor for a specific project at the School.

Endowments to the School may also be made in memory of or in honour of a loved one or friend.

Naming of Buildings, Rooms, Spaces and Items

A donor may offer to contribute funds for the naming of a particular building, room, space within the School or an item for use by the School.  The name would have to be acceptable to the School.

In order to receive naming rights the donation should form a significant portion of the total cost of the building or facility.

The donor funds may also be used to establish a significant endowment for the operating costs of the facility.

In the case of a corporate donor, the naming rights could be granted for a number of years and be renegotiated at the end of the set period.  These donations/sponsorships would be subject to Board approval.
