• Annual Fund

  The Annual Fund provides charitable gifts in support of faculty salaries, professional development, instructional support, classroom equipment and supplies, curriculum and technology improvements, fine arts, and sports, on any one of our three campuses.
  
  Every gift is important and makes a difference in each student's educational experience. 
  
  

  A gift to Moravian Academy recognizing a loved one, faculty, or staff member is a meaningful way to honor or memorialize that person. Tribute gifts can be a perfect way to recognize any of life’s special events such as a graduation, birthday, special achievement, wedding, or holiday. Memorial gifts in lieu of flowers serve as a meaningful and lasting tribute to someone we have lost.

• Gifts of Cash, Check, or Card

  Personal checks, cash, or credit/debit card transactions (American Express, MasterCard, or Visa) are the most popular ways to make a gift to Moravian Academy and allow the donor an income tax deduction in the year the gift is made. Checks, made payable to Moravian Academy, can be mailed to 7 East Market Street, Bethlehem, PA 18018, c/o Bob Zaiser, Director of Institutional Advancement.

• Gifts of Stocks or Bonds

  As with publicly traded securities, a gift of stock of a private corporation may allow the donor to avoid capital gains on appreciation of the stock, while attaining a tax deduction based on the stock’s fair market value. The donor may obtain an immediate tax deduction up to 30% of the adjusted gross income. If the gift exceeds 30%, the remainder of the deduction generally can be carried over for up to five years. 
  
  Gifts of stocks or bonds, which are or will be readily marketable, may have important added tax-benefits for the donor. The deduction for outright gifts of appreciated long-term securities (held more than 12 months) is equal to the fair market value of the securities on the date the donor relinquishes control of the assets to the school, and none of the appreciation is taxable for capital gains purposes. The school maintains an account for the transfer of securities at Bank of America.

• Matching Gifts

  There are many companies that match their employees’ gifts to independent schools. For example, if a donor gives $1,000 to Moravian Academy, a matching gift company will also give $5,000 to the school and thus the donor is credited with a $2,000 gift. Some companies will even match gifts on a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio. Donors simply need to contact their human resources offices for the appropriate forms and forward them with their gifts to the Development Office for completion.
