By joining The Honor Roll (which starts at just $5/month), you’ll make a tangible commitment to education and our community. These recurring monthly donations provide sustainable, predictable income, and you’re joining a community alongside many others who also want to make an impact.
This special giving program guarantees 100% of your donation will go directly to students and teachers to enhance the learning experience.
Your monthly support – no matter how much – makes our work possible.
With an annual commitment, a GCSF Visionary has a long-term impact on the unrestricted assets that allow GCSF to deliver the resources that enhance the educational experience for G-C students and teachers. We also will provide special connection opportunities for our GCSF Visionaries.
Help sustain and strengthen GCSF for the next 3 or 5 years through a multi-year commitment of $100 or more recurring annually to support the Foundation.
When you contribute to our annual Gala with an individual ticket or a Sponsorship, your tax-deductible donation makes a difference. Both now and in the future, your gift will impact the lives of our students with resources to succeed, including a rigorous curriculum, enhanced learning experiences, innovative programs and more.
This year’s event offers opportunities for both in-person and virtual attendance. We look forward to your participation!

Giving through your IRA
First, contact your IRA administrator and see if they have a form that you can use to make an IRA direct charitable gift request. If that is not available, download this sample letter that can be used to request a direct distribution from an IRA (Individual Retirement Account) to Greenfield Central School Foundation.
Remember, this gift is NOT income to you and, therefore, is NOT tax-deductible. Nonetheless, the gift counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). This is a great option for anyone who does not itemize charitable deductions and/or anyone who does not want to incur that additional RMD income.

Smart giving from your IRA
A tax-saving way to help Greenfield Central School Foundation
Make a difference today and save on taxes. It is possible when you support Greenfield Central School Foundation through your IRA.
A special opportunity for those 73 years old and older
You can give any amount (up to a maximum of $100,000) per year from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as Greenfield Central School Foundation without paying income taxes. Gifts of any value $100,000 or less are eligible for this benefit and you can feel good knowing that you are making a difference at the GCSF. This popular gift option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a qualified charitable distribution, or QCD for short.
Why consider this gift?
- Your gift will be put to use today, allowing you to see the difference your donation is making.
- You pay no income taxes on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your deductions.
- Since the gift doesn’t count as income, it can reduce your annual income level. This may help lower your Medicare premiums and decrease the amount of Social Security that is subject to tax.
Your support really makes a difference!
