Securities

Contributing appreciated securities could be advantageous to you, as you may avoid capital gains taxes and reduce your taxable income by deducting the full current market value of the securities. Please have your broker call New Enterprise Academy when you have decided what stock(s) you will be giving, and then send NEA a copy of the letter of instruction:

Office of Development
New Enterprise Academy 
206 W Adams St 
O’Fallon, IL 62269

Real Estate

There are three common methods of transfer:

• outright deeding of the property to New Enterprise Academy
• a gift of the property with retained life income through a gift of annuity or charitable remainder trust
• a gift of a personal residence or farm with retained life tenancy.

Life Insurance

You can designate New Enterprise Academy as the owner and beneficiary on your life insurance policy. Please mail a copy of your Insurance Policy to:

Office of Development
New Enterprise Academy 
206 W Adams St 
O’Fallon, IL 62269

Retirement Plan Assets

Designate New Enterprise Academy as a beneficiary of a retirement plan. This is an easy way to make a bequest to NEA and avoid both income and estate taxes on your gift.

Tangible Personal Property

Gifts of appreciated personal property such as paintings, library books, cars, or musical instruments entitle donors to a charitable deduction at market value if the use of such property is directly related to New Enterprise Academy's educational functions.
