How You Can Help Stanford New Schools

 

Stanford New Schools relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to help us continue our important work. The state funding that we receive only covers approximately 75% of our operating needs, and we must raise the balance from private donors, corporations, and foundations that believe in our goals and support our accomplishments.

You can make a difference in the lives of underserved students by making a tax-deductable donation to Stanford New Schools (our Federal Tax ID number is 20-2699147).

  • You are age 70 or older
  • The gift is $100,000 or less each year
  • You make the gift on or before Dec. 31, 2007
  • You transfer funds directly from an IRA or Rollover IRA
