Thanks to a generous matching donor, every eligible dollar given on Giving Tuesday and for the entire month of November will be matched 1:1.
That means your gift has double the impact for our students, teachers, and programs.

Qualified gifts include:

• Current Donors: Any amount above last school year's giving level will be matched 1:1
• First-Time Donors: Your entire gift will be matched 1:1
• Lapsed Donors: Any gift from donors who didn't give last school year, will be matched 1:1
• Founders Level Giving Society: Current donors giving below $1,970 annually who increase their giving to $1,970 or more will be recognized as inaugural contributors, with their total gift matched 1:1
  Your generosity makes all the difference. 

Join us on Giving Tuesday - 12/2/25 - and help us Fire Up the Fund!  Your gift will go twice as far - every dollar you give will be matched in support of our students, teachers, and school community.

When you give to the CCS Fund, you support:

• Innovative, project-based learning

• Outdoor education and environmental leadership

• Athletics, arts, and student life

• Faculty development and classroom resources

Every contribution—big or small—fuels the growth and success of our students.

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).
