Year-End Giving

The current tax year ends on December 31, 2024, but please note that Pacific Ridge School offices will be closed for the holidays from December 20 to January 5. If you wish to make a gift for the 2024 tax year, please review the important deadlines and instructions below.

If you have any questions or need assistance during the holiday break, please contact: Barbara Edwards or Allissa Thompson.

Gift Methods & Deadlines

Checks

By Mail: To ensure your gift is postmarked by December 31, please mail your check early. The IRS determines the date of your gift based on the postmark, not the date written on the check or when it’s placed in the mailbox.
Hand-Delivery: Please deliver your check to the Philanthropy Office by the end of the school day on December 20.
Third-Party Carriers: Please do not send checks via FedEx, UPS, or other carriers during the break. These services do not provide postmarks, and the school will be closed during this time, meaning delivery will not be possible.

Credit Cards

Online: You can process your credit card gift immediately on Pacific Ridge School's secure giving page: Donate Online. To ensure processing for the 2024 tax year, we recommend submitting your gift in advance of December 31.
By Mail or Phone: If submitting credit card information via mail or hand delivery, please ensure that the Philanthropy Office receives the information by the end of the school day on December 20. Credit card gifts are recorded based on the date your card is charged.

Stock Transfers

The gift date for stock transfers is determined by the date the stock is received in the school’s account, not when you instruct your broker to make the transfer. To ensure timely processing, please initiate the transfer as early as possible, as it can sometimes take several days—especially during the holiday season.
