How To Give

Your Support Makes a Difference

The impact of gifts to Austin Waldorf School is reflected in the vibrant faces and stories of our faculty and students. You can give the gift of knowledge and opportunity.

Austin Waldorf School is a 501(c3) organization and all contributions to our school are 100 percent tax deductible. Our tax identification number (TIN) is 74-21768-35. Please review the easy giving options below.

Make a Sustaining Gift

You can boost your annual gift by making a regular, ongoing gift each month. Monthly giving, sometimes called a recurring gift,  is a great way to include charitable donations in your budget. Giving a small amount, such as $40 each month, is sometimes easier than a single gift of $480. It is also easy to pay with a credit card and have your donation come directly out of your account with your bills every month. You can make a recurring or a sustaining gift online by clicking here or by calling us at 512.288.5942 x115.

Gifts of Appreciated Securities
Gifts of appreciated securities offer tax benefits for the donor and are simple to make. One hundred percent of the value of your gift is tax-deductible provided it has been held for at least one year, and there is no obligation to pay any capital gains tax on the appreciated value. The gift is 100 percent deductible as of the date it arrives in our account. If your stock is held in a brokerage account, your broker can transfer your gift electronically. Contact scharioui@austinwaldorf.org for the information you need.

Match Your Gift

Many companies have matching gift programs that encourage their employees to become more involved in their community. Contact your Human Resources Office for eligibility requirements and to obtain a matching gift form. Many companies match the gifts of retirees, spouses, surviving spouses, and outside directors. Some companies have employee giving campaigns during which employees can make a contribution or set up a payroll deduction. If your company has a matching gifts program, the company forms can be emailed to us at giving@austinwaldorf.org.

Make a Planned Gift

You can show your personal compassion and set an example for others by remembering Austin Waldorf School in your will, trust, or other planned gift option. No gift has a more lasting impact. A planned gift also offers you many potential advantages: the opportunity to increase spendable income, the elimination or reduction of capital gain taxes and possibly federal and state estate tax savings.
