How to Give

Dear Dalton Donor,

As a non-profit, independent school, we depend on charitable support from alumni, current parents, grandparents, parents of alumni, faculty, staff, and friends.

The easiest way to give to Dalton is with a gift of cash. All gifts are tax deductible to the full extent of the law and can be paid by check or credit card (American Express, MasterCard, and VISA).

A gift of appreciated securities, a popular alternative to a cash gift, offers a two fold tax savings. It provides you with an income tax deduction (equal to the fair market value at the date of transfer) and avoids capital gains tax. Please email Sally Vallimarescu at svallimarescu@dalton.org and she will provide you with the information you and your broker will need to initiate the transfer.

You may make a gift to the Annual Fund or, if you wish, designate your contribution more specifically. The Annual Fund is critical in helping Dalton attract and retain an outstanding faculty, secure a scholarship program we can be proud of, and maintain a stimulating educational program for our students in a safe and appropriate learning environment - no small matter in an urban school. Each and every gift is important.

Thank you for your philanthropic spirit, which strengthens the school immeasurably, and for making Dalton your priority today.

Gratefully,


Emily Kasof
Director of Development
