The Harborlight Fund 2026-27
Thank you for supporting Harborlight!
Why should I give to the Harborlight fund?
The Harborlight Fund is the backbone of our fundraising efforts. It’s what helps sustain our high standards and offer an exceptional education to our students.
How much should I give?
Please consider making a gift to the Harborlight Fund at a level that feels meaningful to your family. Contributions range from $5 to $5,000 and beyond, and every gift makes a difference. Harborlight is a 501(c)(3) organization and all gifts are tax-deductible.
Is my gift tax deductible?
As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, all gifts to Harborlight are tax-deductible. Starting in 2026, a new 0.5% Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) floor means the initial portion of your donation to Harborlight may not be deductible, and high-income donors will face a lower cap on the value of their deduction. By donating now, you ensure your full gift is deductible under the current, more advantageous rules, thereby maximizing your tax savings and increasing the power of your contribution this year.
What kind of gifts can I give?
Harborlight gratefully accepts a variety of assets that offer maximum tax benefits to you, our donor. Beyond cash donations, you can make a significant impact by donating appreciated stocks, which allows you to avoid capital gains tax while still receiving a deduction for the fair market value. We also accept donations of cryptocurrency, which is treated by the IRS similarly to stocks for charitable deduction purposes. Your gift may also be eligible for a matching gift from your employer, potentially doubling the power of your contribution. For matching gift purposes, Harborlight’s Tax ID Number is: 04-2680395.
