What is Giving Tuesday?This year's Giving Tuesday will be December 3, 2024. Giving Tuesday is the Tuesday after Thanksgiving in the US. It is touted as a global generosity movement. Unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea; a day that encourages people to do good.
Ways To Give
There are several ways to make your contribution to CCS, and we’ve outlined a few below.
- Cash Donations (can be made via check or online)
- Tax-Conscious Donations
- Donating Stock – a gift of stock may provide more benefits than a cash gift. When you make a gift of stock to Charleston Collegiate School, you eliminate the capital gains that would be due upon selling the stock AND receive a charitable tax deduction for the full market value of the stock.
- Give from a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) – you may have already received a charitable tax deduction for your gift of securities to the DAF. Now, you can request a grant from the DAF sponsor to support Charleston Collegiate School and fulfill your charitable goals.
- Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) – if you are at least 70 ½ years old, you are eligible to contribute up to $105,000 in 2024 ($210,000 for married couples) directly from your IRA. Since the money is a direct transfer from your IRA to Charleston Collegiate School, it never passes through your hands, and therefore you avoid the added taxable income (possible higher tax brackets) that comes with the IRS’s Required Minimum Distributions (RMD).

Help us to celebrate and support our remarkable school as we participate in the global day of philanthropy, Giving Tuesday. This is the biggest fundraising day of the year for our school and directly supports the CCS Annual Fund. Like most independent schools there is a deficit between tuition and operating costs. The CCS Annual Fund helps to bridge that gap to ensure that our incredible teachers receive continuing education opportunities, that our technology is keeping up with the times, that our facilities are cared for and that our students have the supplies they need to support their education.
The Annual Fund is Charleston Collegiate’s most important fundraising effort.
The Annual Fund is like a checking account for our annual operating budget that helps our school accomplish our goals by providing essentials such as:
- faculty salaries
- benefits and professional development
- technology and supplies
- athletic equipment
- financial aid
- facility updates and maintenance
- field trips
- guest speakers
- art and drama productions
- general operating expenses
