• Bequests & Planned Gifts - Making a Gift in Your Will

  A bequest made through a donor's will is probably the best known form of planned giving. Bequests are considered to be revocable, or legally non-­binding. Consequently, there is no immediate income tax benefit associated with a bequest. However, a receipt for the full value of the bequest is issued to the donor's estate in the year of death. This receipt can be applied to the donor's final income tax return and will offset taxes payable by the estate. Donors can claim up to 100% of net income with a one-‐year
  carry-­back.
  
  A charitable bequest directed to Rothesay Netherwood School may be stated in your will in a variety of ways: a specific dollar amount, a percentage of an estate, or as the residual of the estate.
  When you decide to include a bequest to Rothesay Netherwood School in your will, it is important that your lawyer be consulted. By drafting a will and keeping it valid and up to date, you can ensure that your family, friends and the school are provided for as you intended.
  
  For more information, please contact The Development & Alumni Affairs Office at 506-­848-­0861 or via giving@rns.cc . All enquiries are held in the strictest confidence.

• Gifts of Property

  Gifting property such as a cottage, home, rental property or undeveloped land is a wonderful method of charitable giving that can provide donors with tax relief. Upon proof of appraisal, donors can receive a tax receipt equal to the value of the property being donated. The donor may also avoid paying taxes on the capital gains that would be realized by the property at time of sale by donating it to RNS.

• Gifts-in-Kind

  We are always in need of items such as quality athletic equipment, art supplies, library resources and furniture. If you wish to donate items to RNS, we'd love to hear from you. We can issue tax receipts upon receipt of certified appraisals of your donation.
