Planned Giving

Imagine making one gift that continues to shape young women’s lives for generations to come. That is the enduring impact of planned giving at Notre Dame Academy.

Planned gifts often support student scholarships, and they may also be designated to strengthen academic programs, athletics, the performing arts, campus facilities, or other areas meaningful to you. These gifts offer thoughtful options for long-term estate planning. Donors may give a cash gift, leave an asset, or designate other forms of property to benefit Notre Dame Academy.

If you have already included Notre Dame Academy in your estate plans, please let us know about your gift by contacting the Office of Mission Advancement:

Phone: 718-442-1139

Email: Killian Clifford at [email protected]

Or send us a letter mailed to:
Notre Dame Academy
90 Howard Avenue
Staten Island, NY 10301

By sharing your plans, you ensure that your intentions are honored and that your legacy is recognized. Each year, we are proud to celebrate and thank our planned giving donors at our Annual President’s Society Reception.
The most common planned gift is a bequest through a will or trust, which may designate a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or an asset. Other simple and meaningful options include naming Notre Dame Academy as a beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance policy.

Your planned gift helps ensure that Notre Dame Academy remains a place where young women are educated in the tradition of the Congregation of Notre Dame, empowered, and inspired for generations to come.

Volunteer

Many community members choose to use their time and talents to support NDA and our mission. The Office of Mission Advancement is always looking for volunteers for our annual events and ongoing programs.

Donor Advised Funds

A donor-advised fund is like a charitable investment account, for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about. When you contribute cash, securities or other assets to a donor-advised fund at a public charity you are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction. Then those funds can be invested for tax-free growth and you can recommend grants to virtually any IRS-qualified public charity

If you use a donor-advised fund to make charitable contributions, please contact the Director of Mission Advancement, Killian Clifford [email protected] to assist in setting up a payment.
