Giving Opportunities

  • Cash: Cash is the simplest and most common gift. For income tax purposes, a cash gift is deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
  • Stock: Gifts of long-term appreciated securities offer multiple tax savings for the donor.
  • Real Estate: A charitable gift of real estate can be particularly tax-advantageous.
  • Gifts-in-Kind: A donor may contribute personal property such as jewelry, art, boats,and motor vehicles. In general, you may receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the item donated as determined by an appraisal.
  • Planned Giving: Donors may include Jackson Academy in their estate plans.
  • Matching Gifts: Many corporations will match the charitable gifts made by their employees.
  • Memorials & Honorariums: All gifts may be made in memory or honor of a loved one. We will gladly send an acknowledgment card to whomever you request.

To receive tax credits, applications must be completed and filed with the Mississippi Department of Revenue on January 2, 2025, and time stamped prior to the maximum annual cap being reached.
