Ways to Give

Please make checks payable to American School for the Deaf and mail to:

Please be sure your name and address are included with your gift to ensure prompt receipt of your acknowledgement letter required for tax purposes.

Making a tribute gift to ASD is a meaningful gesture to remember a loved one or to honor someone special in your life. If you are making your gift online, please be sure to check the box that says "This gift is in honor, memory, or support of someone." If your gift is a check sent to the school, please be sure to note the name of the person you are honoring or remembering.

If your family would like a love one to be honored or remembered through gifts to ASD, and you need more information, please call us at 860-570-2356 or VP 860-986-7042.

Making a gift of securities allows you to receive a tax deduction for the current market value. In addition, if you have held the securities for over one year, you avoid paying capital gains tax. When making your gift, you may choose to designate the gift to the American School Annual Fund or to a specific funding area of your choice.

Before making the gift, please notify us in advance by emailing donna.mcneill@asd-1817.org, calling 860-570-2356, or call using video phone at 860-986-7042. Please include the name of the stock, number of shares, name of broker, date of expected transfer and funding area you wish to support.
