Sustaining Donors

With smaller monthly credit card payments, you can support Stanstead College throughout the year. It’s a convenient and thoughtful way to contribute to the Red & White Fund.

Gifts of Securities

Donations of publicly listed securities to registered charities such as Stanstead College are tax deductible and exempt from capital gains tax.

Buy a brick

Create a permanent record of your or your child’s time here at Stanstead College by purchasing a brick in the Tribute Wall on the main floor of Colby House. Each brick, etched to your specifications, costs $275, of which $250 is tax deductible. All brick purchases benefit the Red & White Fund.

Endowment
Major gifts to Stanstead College may qualify as endowments. These sustainable gifts are invested, with the generated income being designated for specific purposes. It is advisable to discuss related details with a representative of Stanstead College if you wish to create or contribute to an endowment.

Adopt a student

While establishing a lasting endowment may be out of your range at this time, you can commit to an annual tax-deductible donation for a fixed period of time to support a deserving student, ideally for the length of his or her stay at the College. This is a way for you to make a specific tangible difference in a young person’s life.

Planned Giving

Making a bequest to Stanstead College or naming the school as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy is a thoughtful and generous way to acknowledge the importance of the school in your life and in the lives of future students. A decision to include Stanstead College in your estate planning gains you membership in the Red & White Society.

Spread the word

There is no promotion better than positive word of mouth. If you are an alumnus, parent, past parent or friend of the school, tell others about the Stanstead experience. Let them know about upcoming Open Houses and scholarship competitions. Actively seek out potential candidates for enrollment. Or simply stay in touch with the school.

Get involved

Whether it’s joining the Council of Trustees, sitting on the Parents Committee or attending alumni events, you can help the school by becoming involved in the many activities that take place throughout the year.
