Fundraising Building Projects for 2011-2012:

Thank you for your support! We are pleased to announce the completion of our projects in Glen Cove and Woodside. The playgounds in Glen Cove have been updated and the air conditioning has been installed in Woodside. In Richmond Hill, renovation of the school kitchen (for use as a vocational training area) has replaced the mini-bus project while we wait for approval from State Ed.

We now need your help to fundraise for the following projects in our three school locations:

Glen Cove:

Purchase 13 white boards for use in each Glen Cove classroom (the science lab and library currently have whiteboards). Interactive whiteboards provide students with greater opportunities for participation and collaboration during class. These benefits increase students' self-confidence and promote development of social skills. This technology has been successful in reaching our students who have a variety of learning styles as a result of their disabilities. ($52,000)

Woodside:

Purchase 36 Nook e-readers and e-book/textbooks for use by our middle school students. Enhance our library space with work areas, shelving and additional books. ($25,000)

Richmond Hill:

Create a Store Kiosk that will be operated by the students. This will be another vocational training area for our students to learn marketable skills and prepare for future employment. ($30,000)

Bridge of Speech:

Be a part of the Bridge which will connect you to the children of SLCD forever!

The Bridge of Speech plaques decorate the front entranceway of SLCD at Glen Cove and Woodside. Please consider being a part of this great fundraising campaign.

Size of plaque: 2.5" x 8" ($300 for Gold, $200 for Silver, and $100 for Bronze).

You can print the order form here and mail it to the SLCD Development Office.

For SLCD's high school located at Richmond Hill, the Bridge of Speech program has been updated to the Bridge To Success. We have created a path to independent life and employment for our students. Your contribution will ensure their success. You can download the order form and mail it to SLCD's Development Office.

Stock Donations:

The benefits to you when making this type of donation:

• Avoiding Federal and State tax on capital gains.
• Receiving an income tax deduction for the full market value of your gift if you itemize deductions on your tax return and have held the assets for at least one year.
• Making a larger gift to SLCD at a lower original cost to you.

We encourage you to consult your financial planner, or tax advisor, who can evaluate the tax advantages when making a donation of stocks.

Planned Giving:

Would you like to be a friend of SLCD in the future?  A planned gift is an important part of estate planning, and leaves a legacy behind. In a Will, or with a Bequest, you can name SLCD as recipient for a specific amount or percentage of a residual estate. 

This type of gift has several advantages:

• gifts made through your will are free of estate tax
• a bequest may place your estate in a low tax bracket
• you may specify that your bequest is used for a specific or general purpose. 
  

Speak with your attorney to discuss what type of planned giving option is right for you.
