In-KindBank Street appreciates in-kind gifts, such as books for our library, special equipment, etc. Please contact the Development Office at 212-961-3339. Planned GivingGifts of all kinds help fulfill Bank Street School's potential and secure its future. But that's just the beginning when you give a planned gift of cash or non-cash assets. Planned Gifts to Bank StreetDonors who make a Planned Gift become members of the Lucy Sprague Mitchell Society, named after Bank Street's founder who also left a bequest in her will. Our philosophy is that first and foremost, estate planning means ensuring that one's loved ones will be safe and secure. And secondly, estate planning means taking care of any personal obligations. When one has taken care of these important things, we hope that one will think of Bank Street. Ways to Make a Planned Gift: The most popular way of becoming a Lucy Sprague Mitchell Society member is by mentioning Bank Street in one's will:
By naming Bank Street as the recipient of a retirement account By naming Bank Street as the recipient of a life insurance policy. By taking out a Charitable Gift Annuity. The Donor makes a gift of at least $10,000 to Bank Street. Bank Street sends the gift to TIAA-Cref, which invests it. Donor receives guaranteed income for life, along with a large tax deduction. At the end of the Donor's life the remainder passes to Bank Street. For further information please contact Barbara Perry Morgan, Director of Planned Giving at 212-961-3328 or at bpm@bankstreet.edu.
