PLANNED GIFTS
Donors can remember the school through their estate plans or other deferred giving arrangements
such as charitable remainder trusts, life insurance policies, retirement plan assets, or real estate.
A deferred gift through your estate is a simple way to make a positive impact on Brentwood Academy.
Larger deferred gifts may establish endowment funds, creating a lasting impact. By providing for
Brentwood Academy in your estate plans, you enhance the lives of future students for generations to come.

IRA ROLL OVERS
If you are 70 ½ or older and taking mandatory income distributions from your IRA, you can avoid the income tax generated by these distributions by directing a gift directly from your IRA to Brentwood Academy. You can direct up to $100,000 per year – it’s a great tax planning tool.
Brentwood Academy can also take gifts in the form of stock. Let us show you how.

Each brick symbolizes the foundation and the path taken by our Brentwood Academy graduates.
Every brick purchased is inscribed with the alum’s name and graduation year.
Alumni bricks are a wonderful way to honor a BA graduate and support the Brentwood Academy Endowment Fund.
