  • EITC Special Purpose Entity (SPE) Program

    对于那些希望对在校学生的生活产生有意义的影响并捐赠给 Tailored Tuition (financial aid) at The Ellis School and receive Pennsylvania Education tax credits (EITC) on their personal tax return, participating in a Special Purpose Entity (SPE) creates a unique opportunity for an EITC individual donor. 

    符合SPE个人税收抵免计划的要求:
    • The SPE program is based on tax liability, not income; therefore, each situation will be different. 个人或夫妻共同申报的最低收入必须为115美元,在州应税收入中有000美元或有3美元的州应税义务,500 or more to participate. To see if you qualify, you can find your Pennsylvania tax liability on Form PA‐40 Line 12 of your most recent tax return.
    • 这项捐赠是一项为期两年的承诺，以获得宾夕法尼亚州90%的税收抵免.
    • Donors must be employed by or own a for profit business or own stock in a business that operates in Pennsylvania. If you file jointly with a spouse, 一个为企业工作，另一个为非营利组织工作, 两者都符合确定纳税义务的目的.

    The chart below is an example of how these tax credits can benefit both you and The Ellis School: 

    PA State Taxes of Donor$10,000
    SPE Contribution$10,000
    PA State Tax Credit 90%$9,000

  • Endowed Giving

    澳门新葡新京官方捐赠基金是澳门官方老葡京永久的、自我维持的资金来源. Funds for endowed faculty chairs, scholarships, and ongoing maintenance of its facilities ensure that Ellis is able to attract and retain a community of talented faculty and students, 以及校园的整体可持续性. By providing non-tuition operational dollars, the endowment helps to keep tuition as affordable as possible for all current and future families while supporting Tailored Tuition, faculty salaries, facilities, and much more. A gift to the Ellis endowment is a way to make an impact on the School and its students far into the future. 
     
    当你指定你的礼物是捐赠的时候, the principal amount of your gift will be invested and the investment income will be used for the ongoing support of Ellis. 超过分配的收益被用来建立捐赠基金的市场价值. 目前的捐赠基金支持奖学金和量身定制的学费, faculty chairs, and other critical needs within the school. 当你设立捐赠基金时，你就为澳门新葡新京官方创造了一个永久的支持遗产. 请联系进步主任克莱尔·德弗罗，地址是 devereuxc@skinmart.net 如果你想讨论捐赠的礼物或有任何问题.

Frequently Asked Questions

List of 5 frequently asked questions.

  • What is the Ellis Fund?

    澳门新葡新京官方基金为学院提供无限制资金的主要来源, 使学院能够将资金用于最需要的领域. It’s made up of hundreds of unrestricted gifts that help offset Ellis’ yearly operating expenses. 
     
    澳门官方老葡京依靠它的家长社区, grandparents, alumnae, past parents, friends, faculty/staff, foundations, and area businesses and corporations to contribute. Ellis Fund gifts are put to immediate use, spent in the same fiscal year in which they are received.

  • Where exactly do Ellis Fund dollars go?

    Gifts made to the Ellis Fund provide support to some of the most important areas on campus including Tailored Tuition, academic support, athletic programs, performing and visual arts, and student activities. 这也使澳门新葡新京官方能够招募和留住最优秀的教师, provide professional development opportunities, and enhance and upgrade facilities.

  • Why is annual giving so important?

    每年捐献是对基金会的一份声明, corporations, and other community funders. Gifts showcase the strength of our community and signal that you believe in Ellis’ mission and the unique educational experience the school provides. 

    Your annual gift provides vital support to the immediate operating budget of Ellis and helps to ensure that departments and programs get the funds they need to provide the highest quality student experience while maintaining a balanced budget.

  • I already pay tuition. Why am I being asked to contribute?

    Tuition only covers about 75% of an Ellis education. While tuition, fees, and the endowment cover the majority of the cost, the Ellis Fund makes up the difference.

    If Ellis only relied on tuition and did not conduct fundraisers, tuition would actually be higher. Since Ellis is a nonprofit and must raise funds each year to ensure the excellent education received by all Ellis students, Ellis Fund gifts are tax-deductible, whereas tuition dollars are not.

  • 我可以指定我想把捐给澳门新葡新京官方基金的钱捐给哪里吗?

    Yes! 捐给澳门新葡新京官方基金的捐款可以指定用于体育运动, arts, Tailored Tuition, faculty salaries, facilities, and general operational costs. 你的礼物可以真正影响整个澳门新葡新京官方社区.

List of 5 frequently asked questions.

  • Does it matter when I make my gift?

    Yes. A gift or pledge made early in the school year is a great advantage to the School because it enables us to know how much money will be available to support the School’s budget throughout the year. 目标是在9月30日之前获得澳门新葡新京官方基金的承诺. Pledges must be paid by May 31. 我们要求在3月1日前向雇主提交相应的捐赠承诺.

  • I can’t make a large donation. Do small donations matter?

    Yes! 每一份礼物，无论多少，都是非常感激的，对我们的成功很重要. 此外，大家的参与有助于我们达到筹款目标. 
     
    Additionally, 它显示了我们社区的大力支持和参与, 这是向外部来源寻求捐款时的一个重要因素. 公司和外部捐赠者想知道父母是否, alumnae, 和祖父母支持学校和它的使命. Participation in the Ellis Fund demonstrates confidence in the School and puts Ellis in a strong position when foundations and other organizations are considering a gift to the School.

  • How much should I give?

    我们要求你在一个对你有意义的层面上给予. 过去，个人礼物的金额从5美元到15万美元不等. While leadership gifts of $1,000英镑及以上的学费对学院的财务稳定至关重要, gifts of all sizes make a difference. All gifts send a message to members of the Ellis community and to outside funding sources that those who benefit most from Ellis support it.

  • 澳门新葡新京官方多久会向我募捐一次?

    澳门新葡新京官方的财政年度从7月1日开始，到6月30日结束. Solicitations for the Ellis Fund coincide with the start of the school year and we continue to solicit funds through June 30, the end of the School’s fiscal year. Once your gift/pledge is made for the school year, 在本财政年度余下的时间里，澳门新葡新京官方基金将不会向你征求捐款.

  • 捐给澳门新葡新京官方基金的礼物和捐给捐赠基金的礼物有什么区别?

    Gifts to the Ellis Fund specifically address the yearly operating expenses that are incurred while running the School and are built into the budget on a yearly basis. The Ellis endowment is our savings and investment account from which only limited funds can be drawn each year.
