There are so many fantastic ways to support the Cut Bank Schools through the CBEFAA!

​​

• Sponsor a Scholarship for Graduating Seniors or Cut Bank School Alumni - This can be a one-time or recurring scholarship and can be for the dollar amount you are comfortable with.

• Make a Memorial Donation- When someone holds a special place in your heart, makes a big impact in your life or changes the community for good, it’s fitting to honor their contributions. Education is the gift that lasts a lifetime, and a memorial scholarship provides a meaningful way for family, friends and colleagues to honor that special person while celebrating their legacy through future generations of students. Donations can be a one time contribution or be developed into a memorial scholarship. Click here for FAQ to creating a memorial scholarship:

​

• Make a Planned Gift- Planned giving is any major gifting designation made during the lifetime of the donor or at his/her death. Here are a few planned giving ideas that can be used to leave a legacy at the Cut Bank Schools: Charitable Bequest: A charitable bequest is a gift listing the Cut Bank Education Foundation as beneficiary upon the death of the donor. The gift is normally designated in the donor’s will or by listing CBEFAA as beneficiary of a retirement plan. Gift of Appreciated Property: Donors can give appreciated property, such as real estate or investment securities, and receive a charitable deduction for the full market value of the asset. The donor pays no capital gains tax on the transfer. Qualified Charitable Distribution: When you reach the age of requiring a minimum distribution from your retirement account, you can satisfy the requirement with a qualified charitable distribution which will also reduce your income taxes.

​

• ​​Annual Giving- Your tax deductible donations can be made at any time for any reason. You can leave the gift unrestricted for the CBEFAA to use wherever there is a need or your donation can be designated for any of our projects, including teacher mini-grants, subsidizing our teacher bonus incentives, supporting the Missoula Children's Theater or memorial donations.

​

The Cut Bank Education Foundation & Alumni Association has established a permanent irrevocable endowment fund with the help of generous gifts of cash, bequests, stocks and real estate from alumni, friends and parents.

​

Many of these types of donations can present significant tax advantages for the donor. Please contact CBEFAA and your financial/tax advisor if you are interested in leaving a legacy for the Cut Bank Schools to see what would work best for you.​​
