Planned gifts provide the resources that create extraordinary opportunities and preserve our future.

The programs of The Madeira School depend upon your goodwill. To that end, there are a myriad of easy giving options from which you can choose – from naming us as a beneficiary in your will to a more complex trust arrangement.

We’ve created this easy-to-understand website to help you find the gift that's right for you. Here you can learn how to plan a gift to The Madeira School. We'll tell you about creative giving strategies that enhance your, and your family's, well being and help us as well.

This website is interactive and fun to use:

  • If you're already considering certain giving options, simply click on Compare Gift Options and select the gifts you want to learn more about.
  • If you're not sure how our gift plans can meet your financial goals, enter the Legacy Planner®, and follow the trail to the gifts that will work best for you. Each option you select leads to more choices, letting you design your own gift plan.
  • Request a personalized gift illustration from us that details your plan, read our most recent Tip of the Day, and refer to the FAQ's and Glossary sections.

Welcome! We hope you enjoy the site.
