Simple Ways to Leave Your Legacy

BEQUESTS
Remembering Cold Spring School with a bequest from your estate will help sustain and strengthen Cold Spring School for years to come while retaining control of and use of your assets during your lifetime.

A bequest is a simple way to make a gift from your estate—a transfer of cash, securities, or other property made through your estate plans. You may make a bequest by including language in your will or trust leaving a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the residual of the estate after you have made bequests to your family. Bequests to Cold Spring School may reduce your estate taxes.

SAMPLE BEQUEST LANGUAGE TO REVIEW WITH YOUR ATTORNEY
“I, [name], of [city, state, zip], give, devise, and bequeath [written amount or percentage of estate] to Cold Spring School School (tax ID # 06-1066740), located at 263 Chapel Street, New Haven, Connecticut, 06513, for its unrestricted use and purpose.”

CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUSTS
This trust provides tax benefits and at the end of the term, the remainder (or a portion) of the trust assets go to the School for the purposes you designate. 

Assets to Give

Whether you are making an outright gift or a planned gift, Cold Spring School welcomes many types of assets. Options include cash, publicly traded securities, non-publicly traded assets, real estate, retirement plans, life insurance policies, gifts in kind such as personal property, and other possibilities.

A gift of your retirement plan or life insurance policy (or a portion thereof) can be made by designating Cold Spring School as a beneficiary. To do so, contact your retirement plan administrator or life insurance company and complete the appropriate beneficiary designation form.

For more information, please contact Georgia Lieber at glieber@coldspringschool.org or (203) 787-1584.

Each year we encourage current families to take our 100% challenge and contribute to the Cold Spring Fund before the 100th day of school, typically in mid-February. 100% participation reflects the strength of our school and the solidarity of our community!
