Every Child. Every Gift.
​At St. Luke’s Episcopal School, independent excellence is a deliberate choice centered on cultivating the whole child during their foundational PK-3 through 8th grade years. Nurturing the Mind, Body, and Spirit of every student goes far beyond exceptional academic preparation—it inspires them to lead lives of purpose, faith, and integrity as they prepare to shape the world.
​
When you give to the 58 Fund, you are directly investing in future leaders. Your generosity funds the exceptional resources and mentorship that equip our children with the confidence to find their voices and the character to stand strong in the world. A culture of giving builds a community of excellence, and our collective support makes this mission possible.
St. Luke’s Episcopal School is a 501(c)(3); all contributions made to the school are tax-deductible upon compliance with the Internal Revenue Code.
Ways to Donate to The 58 Fund
What is the 58 Fund?
The 58 Fund is St. Luke’s unrestricted annual fund that bridges the gap between basic tuition revenue and the actual cost of a premier independent school education.
Rather than a one-time campaign, the 58 Fund is a permanent, annual giving vehicle designed to provide our immediate margin of excellence. It turns our highest strategic aspirations into immediate, on-campus realities.

Stocks & Bonds
A Smarter, Tax-Efficient Way to Give
Transferring appreciated securities is one of the most financially strategic ways to support St. Luke’s. By donating stock directly rather than liquidating it, you unlock significant personal tax advantages while providing high-value funding for campus advancement.
• How It Works: You instruct your brokerage firm to transfer shares of stock, bonds, or mutual funds directly to St. Luke’s. Because you never sell the asset yourself, the capital gains tax vanishes entirely.
• The Dual Benefit: You completely avoid paying capital gains taxes on the growth of the stock and can deduct its full market value on your income taxes, while St. Luke’s secures high-value assets that can be immediately utilized for major campus projects.
To complete a transfer, please download our official instructions or share them directly with your financial advisor.

Retirement & Insurance
Impact That Costs Nothing Today
You do not need a massive estate to leave a lasting legacy at St. Luke’s. Many of our supporters choose to protect their daily checking account budget by using age-based retirement assets or long-term insurance policies to invest in St. Luke’s future.
• For Donors Age 70½+ (Tax-Free IRA Giving): Instruct your provider to transfer a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly to St. Luke’s Episcopal School. This satisfies your legal withdrawal requirement while keeping that money 100% excluded from your taxable income.
• Beneficiary Designations: Request a form from your insurance or retirement provider and name St. Luke’s Episcopal School as a partial or sole beneficiary. It takes less than five minutes, costs nothing today, protects your current cash flow, and completely bypasses the complex probate process.
• The Long-Term Impact: These future-focused assets guarantee that St. Luke’s remains financially strong, secure, and accessible for the next generation of students.

Corporate Sponsorship
Partner With St. Luke’s: Align Your Business with Excellence

• Benefit to St. Luke’s: Corporate dollars directly fund major strategic advancements, program development, and specialized campus infrastructure that tuition baseline fees do not cover.
• Benefit to Your Business: High-impact visibility across our physical campus, digital platforms, and major school events, allowing you to build deep brand loyalty with an affluent, highly engaged local demographic.
