Corporate Matching Gifts


Many companies have a matching gift program. During the 2002-2003 giving year, we received over $24,000 in corporate matching gifts! Please consult with your employer to determine matching gift opportunities.

Endowment

Simply put, the endowment is the Academy’s savings account – its accumulated capital gains then become the optimal source of return that allows us to optimize our programs. Most important, interest from the endowment is the most desirable source of funding for supporting our most important asset – the intellectual capital that comes with the very best cadets and the very best instructors.

Gifts-In-Kind

Gifts-in-kind are a valuable resource to the Academy that can make a difference in instructional resources, facilities and activities. If you have a special gift-in-kind to donate to Hargrave, please contact the Development Office to facilitate acceptance of your gift.

Planned Giving

Planned gifts to the Academy are investments in the future. Through your bequests, charitable trusts and gift annuities, Hargrave is able to ensure that tomorrow’s cadets have the resources needed to continue the Academy’s nearly one-hundred year tradition of leadership, honor, character and merit.

The Heritage Society

When you make a planned gift to Hargrave, you are welcomed into the Heritage Society. The Heritage Society is the recognition society for individuals who make HMA a part of their estate plan.

Bequests

A properly planned gift can be one of the most rewarding experiences of our life! Through a simple bequest, you may be able to make a much more significant gift that will create a legacy and have a lasting impact on the cadets, faculty and programs at Hargrave. Your bequest will leave a legacy that will make a difference for many generations to come.

A bequest is deductible for federal estate tax purposes, and there is no limit on the amount of the estate tax charitable deduction. In addition, bequests generally are not subject to state inheritance or estate taxes. In a large estate, the savings can be more than HALF the value of the bequest.
