The School accepts gifts made by check, cash, credit card (Visa, MasterCard and American Express). Gifts can be made using

our secure online donation form, by mailing or dropping off a check to the Development Office.

AFS welcomes gifts of appreciated securities. Click here for instructions about this simple transaction, or contact Jon Harris in the Development Office for more information.

A bequest to AFS is a gift that can truly be made by almost everybody. It involves no immediate loss of capital or income, and tax benefits minimize the ultimate cost to one’s heirs.

You may be able to designate AFS as a beneficiary of your IRA or other retirement plan. This can help to reduce income and estate taxes.

You can make an outright gift of your residence or other real estate to the school and qualify for a charitable deduction. A gift in this form enables you to avoid a capital gains tax on the appreciation of the property, just as with gifts of appreciated securities.

If you have a life insurance policy which you no longer rely on, consider putting the money to work for AFS.
