What is the difference between an endowed gift and a current gift?
A current gift goes toward supporting costs incurred in the current fiscal year.
Endowment gifts provide permanent support for the Gifted Music School. Gifts to the endowment are invested and only a percentage of the income generated from the principal is spent. The percentage of the principal is determined according to a spending rate established by the School's Board of Trustees (typically about 5 percent). Any difference between the amount spent and the amount earned is reinvested in order to help the endowment keep pace with inflation.
Can I donate a musical instrument to Gifted Music School?
The opportunity to play a quality instrument can make an important difference in a young musician's artistic development and we welcome inquiries about these types of gifts.
Does Gifted Music School accept in-kind gifts of books, scores, manuscripts, and recorded material?
Gifted Music School is pleased to consider contributions of certain types of materials, particularly rare items and special collections, should the items be useful for the young artists studying here. Unfortunately, space limitations prevent the school from accepting all gifts that are offered.
