Ways to Give

A pledge may allow you to contribute more significantly to the campaign than might otherwise be possible, such as a larger gift at the Circle of Excellence level, while extending payments and tax advantages over time. To make a pledge, please visit Make a Pledge. Indicate in the additional info section your desired fulfillment date, and if you are interested in exploring payment options. A member of our team will confirm your pledge and help arrange the fulfillment plan that best suits your needs. Email advancement@stjohnseagles.org or call 813.600.4353. 

Many companies provide matching gift program opportunities for their employees, and will match your gift to our School. This match can double, triple, or even quadruple your giving. Ask your Human Resources or community relations office if your company has a matching gift policy, indicate on your giving form or pledge form of a matching gift possibility. A member of our team will work with you to complete the appropriate applications to confirm your matching gift request. 

St. John's gladly accepts gifts of securities. In advance of your gift, to ensure proper documentation, it is very important that you or your financial advisor contact Carrie Underwood, Associate Director of Advancement and Annual Giving (813.849.4200 x 4353 or cunderwood@stjohnseagles.org)

Major and planned gifts provide opportunity for benefactors to participate in unique and innovative ways that directly impact and support the legacy of the school and the donor. Our Advancement team is available to work with you and your financial planner, attorney, or other adviser to structure your gift in a way that maximizes tax and estate planning guidelines, and supports the realization of your goals to support St. John’s.

Planned giving is essentially a deferred gift, a bequest in your will or trust that is given after your lifetime. Planned gifts include:

• Making a bequest to St. John's in your will
• Making St. John's the beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance policy
• Creating a charitable trust

A planned gift has several immediate benefits, most importantly, providing peace of mind while knowing you will leave a legacy:

• You are stating an intention to give, but the gift is not given now, providing you with access to your assets for as long as you need. 
• A bequest is not binding, providing  the flexibility to make changes should circumstances change. 
• You can leave a percentage amount of your estate, thus providing for your loved ones as well as St. John's.
