  If you have questions about matching gifts, please contact us at Development@KingsRidgeCS.org.

• What is the Difference Between a Pledge and a Gift?

  A pledge is a promise to make a gift on a future date, over a period of time, or through multiple payments. A gift is a one-time donation or a pledge payment and may be paid by cash, check, online credit card payment, or stock transfer.
  
  You may make a pledge or gift to The King’s Ridge Fund anytime; however, this year’s focused, two-week challenge will be September 16 - 27, 2024. All payments are due by June 30, 2025.

• Can I Donate Stock to the Annual Fund?

  Yes. Donated stocks are a great way to make a gift to KRCS. Giving appreciated securities provides the donor a tax deduction for the stock's appreciated value without incurring capital gains tax.
  
  Because KRCS is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization, it would have no tax liability on the gift, making stocks a win for both the donor and the school.

   

  The Office of Development will provide Stock Transfer Instructions at your request. Please contact Development@KingsRidgeCS.org.

• Does The King's Ridge Fund Support Capital Projects?

  No. Capital projects are typically supported by multi-year, strategic Capital Campaigns for specific purposes, such as to fund campus building projects, scholarships, or endowments.

   

  There will be no active Capital Campaign at KRCS during the 2024-2025 school year.
