There are several areas in which you may choose to make your gift to MTSO:
The Methesco Fund: Also known as the Annual Fund, contributions to this fund provide critical support for the day-to-day operations of our school. In giving to the Methesco Fund, you are supporting student scholarships and student life activities, providing cutting-edge technology to our classrooms, helping to maintain and enhance our beautiful campus, and providing much-needed support to our faculty and library.
Endowment: Gifts to our General Endowment Fund help us prepare for our future. Gifts made to this fund are placed in a fund where the gift itself is never spent; rather, the interest earned from our investments is spent. In this way, your gift can keep giving in perpetuity. Giving to the Endowment Fund is a wonderful way to ensure your generosity lives on for years to come.
Specific Endowment Funds: There are a number of specific endowment funds that provide faculty chairs, scholarships, and other important services to our students, faculty and staff. You are welcome to give to any of these funds at any time. For more information on these funds, please contact the Development Office.
There are several types of giving available:
Outright Cash Gifts: An outright cash gift may be made at any time by sending a check to the Development Office at 3081 Columbus Pike, Delaware, OH 43015.
Credit Card: To make a gift via credit card, you may contact the Development Office directly or follow the link below to make a gift online via Paypal.
Gifts of Securities: Donating appreciated stock to MTSO may provide you many significant benefits as a contributor. You would receive a charitable income tax deduction for the fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift. If your stock is significantly appreciated, you will also avoid capital gains taxes that may have resulted if you simply sold the stock and donated the proceeds to charity. Please contact the Development Office to receive specific instructions on donating securities.
Planned Giving: A planned gift is one that is made through estate or financial planning. Naming MTSO in your estate plans is a meaningful way to leave a lasting legacy while meeting your financial goals. Please visit our comprehensive planned giving site to explore the benefits a planned gift may provide you and to learn more about the different planned giving vehicles available at MTSO.
We honor those who have made a legacy gift to MTSO by inviting them to join The Sterling Society. Members of The Sterling Society receive special recognition in our annual report and will be invited to participate in a special members-only event in the late spring of each year.
