Ell-Saline Cardinal Foundation for Educational Excellence
USD 307 Ell-Saline Schools provide an exceptional educational experience to the children of western Saline County and eastern Ellsworth County. Our district offers a special learning experience to our children in the form of lower student-to-teacher ratios which allows for more personal instruction, a benefit of a smaller district. The Cardinal Foundation's goal is to build on our small school advantages and enhance the quality of education provided.
A contribution to the Cardinal Foundation is one of the most rewarding gifts you can make. Your gift will support:
- Technology advancement.
- Facilities development
- School site beautification
- Classroom grants
- Student emergency aid
- Enrichment activities and programs
- Other areas designated by the donor
Because the Cardinal Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, gifts from individuals and businesses generate tax benefits. Donors may qualify for federal and state income tax charitable deductions and/or credits as well as estate tax benefits. A carefully planned gift can be an advantageous tax and estate planning tool.
In addition to cash donations (one-time, monthly or yearly gifts), other contribution opportunities are available. Gifts of long-term appreciated property, real estate or securities, often generate significant tax benefits.
Gifts to the Foundation in a will or living trust establish a lasting memorial and may qualify for estate tax charitable deductions.
