Ways to Give

Tampa Prep continues to grow stronger every year because of the incredible support we receive from our current parents, alumni, alumni parents, grandparents, faculty, and friends. We appreciate the contributions of time, talent, and treasure. We are fortunate to be able to offer greater opportunities to our students and faculty because of your loyal support.

These are the ways you can make Tampa Prep a philanthropic priority:

Capital Projects
To ensure that facilities are commensurate with the high level of programs offered, the School must continue to make capital investments in facilities and equipment. Before the start of the most recent Capital Campaign, “Building a Legacy,” a new facility was the main focus. Today, post campaign, the capital needs focus is on expanding facilities to meet future needs.

Capital gifts and pledges are considered an investment in Tampa Prep’s future. Bequests and planned gifts are also encouraged to ensure the future health and long-term prosperity of Tampa Preparatory School.

Endowment
Tampa Prep’s endowment, like endowments at most independent schools, is a collection of various restricted and unrestricted funds. While individuals and organizations establish named endowments through sizable initial gifts, the funds may also grow through smaller, ongoing gifts from other supporters of the School. Our current endowment is inadequate to meet the needs of our programs. The School is in the initial planning stages for a major endowment campaign with a goal of adding substantially to Prep's endowment over several years. Tampa Prep’s endowment funds provide financial assistance to qualifying students, support faculty salaries and professional development, and sustain curriculum and facilities.

Gifts of Securities

A gift of appreciated securities (stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares) is frequently the most economical way to make a gift. Your broker/financial advisor may electronically transfer ownership of the securities to Tampa Preparatory School's account at Morgan Stanley.

Matching Gifts
Many companies offer a matching gift program to their employees as an added benefit. If your company has a matching gift benefit it could double or even triple your gift to Tampa Prep. Companies have various methods by which employees can earmark money for the organization of their choice. Contact your company's human resources officer or web site to find out what your options are.

Planned Giving
Gifts made as part of your overall financial plan – which often benefit you now and Tampa Prep later – are known as 'planned gifts.' Planned giving allows you to provide future support for the areas and programs at Tampa Prep that are of most interest to you – and often make a larger gift than you might have thought possible.
