Gifts at Give Back, edited by Nancy Raley and Karla Taylor, NAIS, 2003 by the National Association of Independent Schools.
Caveat: Before naming a school in your will or considering another kind of planned gift,
consult with an attorney or financial advisor to explore the type of planned gift that is best
for you and your family.

What is unrestricted giving?: Donations made to the Annual Fund are considered
"unrestricted gifts", because the school can invest the dollars where it is needed the
most. Every year, these unrestricted donations demonstrate the community's faith in the
direction of the School, and empower our students and faculty.
How to think about unrestricted giving: An unrestricted gift is the highest form of
philanthropy. It helps the School most because it shows you buy into the mission and gives
the School the freedom to place the money where, in the wisdom of the board, it will serve
the best purpose.
