Ways to Give

 There are many ways to make a gift to the Foundation. Your generosity will not only benefit the students and teachers of Vancouver Public Schools, but may also provide you with certain tax benefits. The following are just some of the ways you can contribute to the Foundation. Please contact us for additional ways to give.
Gifts of Cash

Contributions may be made directly to the Foundation. You can donate online using our security-certified online donation program.

Or make a check payable to the Vancouver School District Foundation. Simply download our donation form, print and complete it, then mail to:

Vancouver School District Foundation

Gifts of Real Estate

Gifts of a home or property to a charity receive special treatment under the Internal Revenue Code. You may retain the right to reside on the property and derive income from the property.


Donor-advised Funds

Donor-advised funds are established by donors to support specific projects or needs at one or more schools or individual classrooms.

Gifts for Change

A Gift for Change donation is a perfect way to donate to the Foundation in honor of a teacher or loved one. With as little as $10, the Gifts for Change program brings profound change to Vancouver students by providing them with basic needs such as shoes, coats and school supplies. Donations to the Gifts for Change program are perfect year-round for holidays, birthdays, anniversaries and graduations. Honorary gift cards are sent upon receipt.

Corporate Matching Gifts

Many employers maintain a matching gift program. Your employer may make a contribution to the Foundation that will match your gift. Check with your employer prior to making your donation to determine the terms and requirements of its matching gift program.

Planned Giving

Our staff and advisors are available to work with you to achieve your personal charitable-giving objectives. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Planned giving includes gifts of life insurance, retirement accounts, appreciated assets, gifts from your estate, charitable remainder trusts and charitable lead trusts. Contact our office for additional information.
