Considering a Major Gift or Multi-Year Commitment?

Interested in making a transformational investment in On Point’s work? We’d love to discuss opportunities for major gifts, multi-year pledges, and customized support that aligns with your philanthropic goals.

Recognize someone special with a gift to On Point. Donations may be made in memory of a loved one or in honor of a friend or family member. Any gift to On Point can be designated as a memorial or tribute.

If you’d like to make a one-time memorial or tribute gift to On Point, you can give online through our website or by mail.

To establish an ongoing memorial or tribute giving program, please contact our Development team.

Recommend a grant to On Point through your donor-advised fund sponsor, such as Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or Vanguard Charitable. Please contact our Development Team if you need additional information to complete your recommendation.

Donating long-term appreciated securities — such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds — can be a tax-efficient way to support On Point. Contributing securities instead of cash may allow you to avoid capital gains tax while also receiving a charitable deduction for the fair market value of your gift.

If you’d like to make a gift of appreciated securities, please contact a member of our Development team for transfer instructions.

You may be able to support On Point by making a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA or other eligible retirement account. Giving this way can count toward your required minimum distribution and may provide tax advantages.

To explore this option or request transfer details, please contact our Development team or consult your financial advisor.

Create a lasting impact by including On Point in your estate or long-term giving plans. Popular options include bequests in a will or trust, charitable gift annuities, charitable trusts, and gifts of life insurance or retirement assets. These planned gifts can help you achieve your financial and philanthropic goals, may offer tax advantages, and ensure that future generations of students have the guidance and resources they need to succeed.

To explore legacy or planned giving opportunities, please contact our Development team.

Make your gift go even farther. Many companies match charitable donations made by their employees, sometimes doubling or even tripling the impact. Some employers also match gifts from retirees and spouses.

You can also ask your Human Resources department about their matching gifts process. Most companies provide a simple form or online portal. Once you complete your portion, we’ll take care of the rest.
