Give generously to Capital Initiatives:
• Capital and Endowment gifts help Frederica Academy achieve its strategic objectives.
Typically, capital gifts fund the school’s major renovations to existing structures and build
the new facilities needed to remain competitive.
• Every campus building represents the generosity of donors hoping to create a wonderful,
inviting campus atmosphere for the future generations of Frederica students.
• Capital pledges are typically paid over a three to five year time frame. This allows donors
to consider larger pledges than they could otherwise make.
• Gifts of property can also be used to make a capital gift. There are tax advantages to doing
so in some cases.
Consider making a bequest or other planned gift to Frederica Academy:
• Planned gifts are the best single means of helping the school's endowment to grow.
• A bequest is the most common planned gift. It is usually simple and inexpensive to
arrange.
• Some planned gifts provide income for the donor (and/or a loved one) during his/her life
and, later, a gift that will help the school.
• Certain planned gifts provide significant tax advantages to the donor.
• The school has an experienced and discrete Director of Advancement who works with
prospective donors confidentially.
• The Director of Advancement answers questions prospective donors have and prepares
illustrations showing how various planned gifts might affect a donor's particular situation.
