• Important Step: Please notify Mary Beth Westwood, Gift Processor, mwestwood@gpacademy.org, prior to initiating a stock transfer so we can track and acknowledge your gift promptly.

• Donor-Advised Funds: Recommend a grant directly to The Grosse Pointe Academy through your DAF sponsor (Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, or Community Foundations). 
• Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs): Donors aged 70½ or older can make tax-free transfers directly from an IRA to GPA. These gifts count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) without increasing taxable income.

Many employers match charitable contributions made by their employees, spouses, and retirees. A corporate matching gift is an easy way to double or even triple the impact of your generosity to The Grosse Pointe Academy.

To find out if your company offers a matching program, please check with your employer's Human Resources department. If your gift qualifies, simply request a matching gift form and send it directly to the Development Office at mwestwood@gpacademy.org. We will happily assist with completing the paperwork!

• Enduring Legacy: Include The Grosse Pointe Academy in your estate plans through bequests, charitable trusts, or beneficiary designations. Planned gifts build long-term endowment sustainability and preserve our historic 20-acre campus or future generations of young learners. 
• Legacy Recognition: Donors who include GPA in their estate plans play a vital role in securing the Academy's financial future and ensuring enduring excellence.
