Mrs. Westling is responsible for the management of the Development Office with focus on the Annual Fund Campaign, Gala Benefit Auction, Alumni Program, Planned Giving, and other operational fundraisers.


FUNDRAISERS
Gateway Academy engages in fundraising activities each year and relies on every family to participate. Two of these are the Annual Fund Campaign and Auction. Both of these activities raise funds which go to support the school's operating budget. Parents receive information about these activities in advance.

CORPORATE GIFT MATCHING
Many corporations recognize and are willing to support private education through a matching gift program. Your employer can advise you if your company will match your gift.  

PLANNED GIVING
Planned gifts, such as bequests, trusts, life insurance, assignment of a beneficial interest, endowments, life estates, or real property are another avenue of contribution.

SECURITIES
Gateway Academy can also accept the donation of appreciated securities which may offer the donor tax advantages.

MEMORIALS & HONORARIUMS
Memorial and Honorarium gifts offer an opportunity to honor a relative, friend, or a business associate. Any special occasion: birth, anniversary, graduation, etc. is a time for remembering. During a bereavement period, friends often see this as an appropriate means to express sympathy. The following message in the obituary of the deceased provides an avenue to make a meaningful and thoughtful gift: "Memorial gifts may be made to: Gateway Academy, 17815 Wild Horse Creek Road, Chesterfield, MO 63005."

With ever-changing IRS regulations, we recommend that you review your method of giving with your accountant, attorney, or other financial advisor. This will ensure that your plan will maximize the benefit to you and assist in fulfilling your intention.
