WAYS TO GIVE

Since the time of its founding, Charleston Collegiate School has been able to thrive and excel due to the generosity of supporters who have embraced the School’s mission of ensuring that our students are truly ready for the opportunities of tomorrow.  

Getting involved does not solely include giving or volunteering - it can be anything from helping out at athletic events, signing up to become a class parent, participating in fun family work days, attending student exhibitions, joining a fund raising event committee, and lots of other opportunities throughout the year.

Your participation ensures CCS students have the best educational experience possible!

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 $108,000 in 2025 ($216,000 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).

Tuition only covers about 70% of the true cost of a CCS Education.

CCS deliberately sets tuition below full cost in order to keep our school more affordable to a wider range of students, and to provide community members with opportunities to support the school with tax-deductible, philanthropic commitments. 

Thank you for supporting our students, teachers, and staff!
