ANNUAL FUND
Our annual fundraising efforts are critical to the success of Gifft Hill School. Our donors help to provide a rigorous experienced-based education and compassionate community for the children of St. John and St. Thomas. We educate one of every three students on the island of St. John and provide 60% of our students with financial assistance. Your support matters!
Every year, we launch our Annual Fund to directly support GHS, its students, staff, and teachers. Our community's support allows us to provide robust financial aid to deserving and talented students while helping empower and equip our talented teachers. Funds raised also help to improve and maintain our beautiful campus and many academic and athletic programs.

RETIREMENT PLAN & IRAS
A retirement plan, such as an IRA, can be a smart source for charitable giving. If you are 70½ years or older, an IRA charitable rollover gift allows you to direct up to $100,000 tax-free to GHS each year from your traditional IRA, which satisfies your required minimum distribution and reduces your taxable income. Contact your IRA custodian to request a direct distribution to Gifft Hill School. Married taxpayers who meet QCD requirements and file joint returns can donate $100,000 from each spouse’s IRA, for a total of $200,000 annually.
DONOR-ADVISED FUNDS
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are very effective charitable giving vehicles whereby donors set aside money to be granted to charitable organizations. You can support GHS through a DAF grant. When processing a DAF grant through a charitable giving account, search for Gifft Hill School by tax ID number (66-0567902).

CORPORATE MATCHING GIFTS
Many companies match donations made by their employees to registered nonprofit organizations. We encourage you to inquire from your company if they might be able to match your donation this year. The impact of your gift to Gifft Hill School could potentially be doubled and sometimes even tripled!
