If your company has a matching gift program, just mail or email your company's matching gift form with your contribution. Questions? Contact Angie Coffey at 615-269-7926 or coffeya@fatherryan.org

• Endowments/Scholarships

  While the Annual Fund might be thought of as the "checking account" for day-to-day operations, the Endowment Fund would be the "savings account." The Endowment Fund ensures that Father Ryan has a permanent source of operating revenue. Gifts are made to the school and only the earnings are applied to expenses.
  
  

  The Endowment Fund for tuition assistance is a permanent source of financial aid to Father Ryan students. Within the Endowment, individual funds have been established by generous benefactors in order to support Father Ryan in perpetuity. Gifts are made to the school and families are awarded need-based financial aid from the earnings each year.
  
  These are opportunities for you and your family to invest in the ministry of Catholic education while helping subsidize a student's tuition. Your gift assists us in shaping a strong future for Father Ryan and helps us to meet the financial needs of a diverse student body.
  
  

  A named Endowed Fund is established with a gift or pledge of $50,000 or more. The school will invest the gift in the Father Ryan High School Endowment Fund and the earnings from the interest will be used annually for student assistance in accordance with the provisions of the fund. Additional funding can be added to the principal at any time, thereby increasing the amount of the award. A percentage of the Endowment Fund at Father Ryan is paid out each year to cover various operating expenses.
  
  

  If you would like to contribute to a fund or establish a new fund, please contact the Advancement Office at (615) 269-7926.

  Please note that recurring gifts continue until terminated by the donor. To terminate your recurring gift, contact the Advancement Office at (615) 269-7926.

• Securities

  Outright gifts of appreciated securities may entitle you to a double tax benefit: you would not recognize capital gain on the transaction and may take a current income tax charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the asset (up to 30% of adjusted gross income, with a five-year carry-over of any unused deduction).
  
  

  Please ask your broker to transfer the securities to the Father Ryan High School account:

  DTC #0015
  For Credit: Account #251-106047-328
  Name of: Father Ryan High School
