Annual FundWhat does the
Annual Fund Support?
Donations to the Annual Fund help balance the operating budget that
supports the mission of NSA. When you give to the Annual Fund, you join
others in providing an extraordinary education in a traditional setting
with outstanding teachers. Our teachers nurture and motivate our
students to achieve the very best they can academically, athletically
and artistically. Please make your gift today and join the proud family
of alumni, parents, past parents, grandparents, faculty, corporations,
foundations and friends who faithfully support Nansemond-Suffolk
Academy.
What is the
Fleur-de-Lis Society
and How Do I Become a Member?
The Fleur-de-Lis Society, named for the school's emblem, salutes
alumni, parents, past parents, grandparents, corporations, foundations
and friends who provide leadership gifts to the Nansemond-Suffolk
Academy Annual Fund.
Donors Qualify for membership by contributing $1,000 or more to the
NSA Annual Fund during the fiscal year (July 1st- June 30th). Each year
members of the Fleur-de-Lis Society will be invited to attend a dinner
held in the spring of each year. Additionally, members will be
recognized in the school's publication Fleur-de-Lis. Donors who have
made cumulative gifts to NSA through out the years totaling over $10,000
are recognized on our cumulative giving plaque in the Upper School
foyer.

Legacy giving
provides an opportunity
for donors to make provisions
for the support of NSA through a deferred gift. Planned gifts may be
made through a will or trust and enable you to make a major gift to NSA
while preserving your assets during your lifetime. A gift through your
estate can provide significant support to the Academy and, at the same
time, reduce your estate tax liability. Methods of planned giving may be
tailored to suit your needs and giving may include trusts, life
insurance, real estate, charitable trusts, bequests or retirement plan
assets.
Established in 1996, the Saints Society recognizes those donors who
make a commitment to the future of NSA by including the school in their
estate plans or other planned gifts. Membership may be held anonymously
and is not contingent upon the size or structure of the gift.
If you have any questions or if you need any additional information,
please contact the Director of Development, Kenda Council '91 at (757)
539-8789 x3339.
Other Types of Giving
Gifts may be made in honor or in memory of an
individual.
Opportunities
are also available for named gifts or special memorials to
honor
a family member, friend or loved one. Special gifts,
donations
directed toward a particular program or need, and gifts-
in- kind
are also accepted.
We
also offer Monogrammed Brick Pavers in front of the
Upper School
Library/Media Center or in front of the Middle
School.
Matching:
Many
companies will "match" a
current or retired employee's contribution to a
non-profit organization.
By taking advantage of your company's matching gift
benefit,
your donation could be doubled! Some examples of
matching gift
companies are: SunTrust, Bank of America, Virginia
Power, Wachovia,
Northrop Grumman and International Paper. Please check
with your
employer to learn if your company supports matching
gifts and
to obtain the appropriate paperwork to submit with your
gift.
Campaign:The
purpose of a Capital Campaign
is to fund building improvements at NSA. NSA's last
campaign,
entitled "NSA-Forging the Future," raised over
$2.7
million- the largest campaign in the school's history.
This campaign
has allowed NSA to build a new 24,000 square foot Lower
School
building for grades 5-7, modify the existing Lower
School building,
and renovate and relocate the Upper School library/media
center
and science complex.
Stocks or
Cash:Gifts of cash provide income tax
benefits if you itemize your deductions. A gift of
appreciated
securities will allow you to receive a deduction for the
full
market value and avoid a capital gain tax
liability.
Acknowledgment:All
gifts to NSA are tax-deductible
and are acknowledged through the Office of Development
& Marketing.
