Senior Gift - Class of 2023

Leaving A Legacy
Dear Class of 2023, 

As we all know, every class in previous years has participated in a senior gift fundraising campaign. It is one final chance for us to show our appreciation for Don Bosco before we graduate. This year, the Advancement Team and I have collaborated on the development of a life-changing gift, called the “Class of 2023 Forever Scholarship Fund”. 

This scholarship fund will provide financial assistance to future students who might otherwise not be able to afford the same incredible experience we enjoyed.  The beauty of this scholarship is that it can be funded in perpetuity, which means we could assist generations of future Bosco students!  This ‘Forever Fund’ will truly be one that lasts forever with the help of every single one of you. Let’s do our part and give Bosco one last ‘thank you’, as well as another Ironman! 

Thank you in advance for the support and the kind hearts, Class of 2023,

With much love,

Destyn Storm Zarate 
Class President 2023 

SENIOR GIFT

The Senior Gift is traditionally a fundraising effort by a graduating class to purchase a gift to leave behind for the underclassmen and all future Ironmen.

Over the past few years, the graduating classes have donated the following gifts:

  • Class of 2017 gave numerous charging stations for iPads and Androids
  • Class of 2018 purchased and installed several hydrostations
  • Class of 2019 raised money to have steps installed leading to the upper parking lot.
  • Class of 2020 gave Purell stations that were installed throughout the school.
  • Class of 2021 provided custom DBP entry mats to be installed throughout the campus building entryways.

  • Recurring Gift

    If you wish to set up a recurring gift, use this page.
  • IRA Donations

    An IRA Charitable Rollover gift allows qualified individuals to make charitable gifts directly from a traditional IRA account to Don Bosco Prep, without incurring federal income tax on the withdrawal.

    This provides you with an opportunity to make a gift to DBP during your lifetime from an asset that would otherwise be subject to taxation if it remained in your taxable estate.
  • Securities

    A gift of appreciated securities can provide significant benefits to you as a contributor, providing a way to help you to achieve your long-term financial objectives. Remember you should always consult with your financial advisor before initiating a gift arrangement.

    Your broker can electrically transfer your securities to DBP. Because this request must be made in writing, we provide an Electronic Stock and Wire Transmittal Form.
  • Matching Gifts

    Matching Gift Companies

    Many companies will match gifts to Don Bosco Prep from their employees and retirees. 

    Each company has its own requirements and forms that are usually obtained from the company's HR or payroll office.

    Gifts to Don Bosco Prep are tax deductible for both the company and the individual donor.
     
    Most companies with a matching gift program do a one-to-one dollar match, and some companies will double or triple your donation. Contact the Don Bosco Advancement Office with any questions.

    If your employer requires an Employer Identification Number (EIN) (i.e., Federal Tax Identification Number), please use #47-4772938.
     
    You may email or mail your completed matching gift form to:
                    Don Bosco Prep
                    Attn:  Matching Gift Program
                    492 North Franklin Turnpike
                    Ramsey, NJ  07446
     
    Your personal gift and matched contribution will be credited to area of your choice at DBP.
