Eagle Fund

The Eagle Fund, formerly the Annual Fund, is the cornerstone of our development efforts for advancement at IHM School. Each year, gifts to the Eagle Fund help to supplement the operating costs of running the school that are not covered through tuition, as well as help us make capital improvements to the school. Unrestricted gifts to the Eagle Fund are critical to meeting the school’s most immediate needs while providing a tax benefit to the donor. Of the many ways individuals can financially support IHM School, the Eagle Fund is the most vital.

General Tuition Assistance Fund 

This fund allows members of our community to donate directly to a Tuition Assistance Fund that helps families with financial need to pay their tuition.

The Immaculate Heart Society

The Immaculate Heart Society recognizes those who support the school through a gift to IHM that helps a donor’s financial and estate plans while creating a lasting legacy for the donor. Examples of ways to support the IHM mission through planned giving include: naming the school as a beneficiary in your will; making a specific bequest to the school; giving a gift of stocks or bonds; the donation of a life insurance policy; naming IHM School as the beneficiary of a 401(k), 403(b) or retirement account; and the creation of an annuity or a charitable remainder trust (CRUT). Planned gifts can be specified to go towards the Endowment Fund or the Eagle Fund. For more information, please contact Alex Azzarello, Director of Advancement, at aazzarello@ihmschool.org or 404-636-4488.

Types of Gifts

Cash Contributions

Unrestricted gifts of cash are the simplest, most direct way to support the school. Honorarium and memorial gifts can be specified with a cash gift. These gifts are fully tax-deductible.

Matching Gifts

Many businesses have programs that will match your gift to IHM School. Ask your company’s Human Resources department to see if they offer this benefit and get the forms necessary to double or even triple your original contribution.

Stocks and Securities

Gifts of stocks, securities or bonds are an excellent way to make a contribution and avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciated stock or security. Contact the Development office if you wish to make a contribution in this way.
