1933 SOCIETY Laguna established the 1933 Society during the school’s 75th Anniversary as a way of recognizing donors whose lifetime contributions to the school have exceeded $100,000. We are grateful that in just 15 years, the 1933 Society has grown to include alumni, current and former parents, grandparents, and community members who have chosen to prioritize Laguna Blanca School in their philanthropic giving. This type of philanthropic leadership from our community members are the bedrock and heart of Laguna Blanca.

CHASE LEGACY The Chase Legacy Society is named for Mr. and Mrs. Harold Chase, Laguna’s first donors, who generously gave the land on which our beautiful Hope Ranch campus stands today. It recognizes our community members who have included Laguna Blanca in their estate planning. Through their philanthropic foresight, the long-term sustainability for future generations of Laguna students and families will be realized. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our Chase Legacy members for including Laguna Blanca in their estate plans.

ABOUT THE ANNUAL REPORT The annual report provides a summary of our fundraising efforts and recognizes gifts received in the fiscal year July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. For the purpose of this report, donors may be listed in more than one constituency group. We have made every effort to ensure accuracy of the information. If, however, an error or omission has been made, please accept our apologies and notify the Development Office at development@lagunablanca.org.

HOW TO GIVE Everyone can make a gift online at lagunablanca.org or by cash or check received in-person or via mail. Your gift is tax-deductible to the full extent of the law. In addition to making a cash donation to the Laguna Fund, there are other creative ways for you to give back. Thank you for considering expanding your support to help make our work possible!

SECURITIES You may achieve tax savings by making your gift via stocks or other capital assets. If you donate marketable securities, you may receive a charitable deduction for the full market value on the date of the transfer. Neither you nor Laguna Blanca will be required to pay capital gains tax on this type of gift. If you have securities that have decreased in value,

you may be able to take a deductible loss when you sell the stocks and donate the proceeds. To learn more about making donations of stock, please contact our development department at development@lagunablanca.org.

MATCHING GIFTS Many corporations will match philanthropic donations made by their employees. This is a great way to maximize your gift. You could possibly double or even triple your dollars with a corporate match. Send us the appropriate paperwork from your employer’s human resources or personnel department, and your gift to Laguna Blanca School will be matched according to your company’s guidelines.

PLANNED GIFTS Donors may wish to consider giving through such means as a will, life insurance, a bequest, or a charitable trust. These types of gifts have a noble destination—to help secure the future of our school. Your generosity not only impacts the lives of our current students, but also has long-term benefits for students who will pass through our doors for years to come. These gifts may also help reduce estate and inheritance taxes. We encourage you to speak with your financial planner when considering this type of gift.

Please let us know if your Laguna alum is no longer at this address. We would love to update their contact information and keep in touch!

Please contact development@lagunablanca.org to let us know of any changes.
