Gift Planning

Leave a Legacy with Mount Vernon School

Making a planned gift is a wonderful way to show your support and appreciation for Mount Vernon School and its mission while accommodating your own personal, financial, estate-planning, and philanthropic goals. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with various gift options by exploring How to Give and What to Give. Then compare gift options and/or calculate how these gifts could work for you. And of course, please contact us for assistance or to discuss your personal situation and objectives.
