Support the future of Kate Duncan Smith DAR School by including us in your long-term estate and financial plans. A planned gift can provide significant benefits to the donor and ensures KDS will continue to provide opportunities for educational and personal growth for students, while emphasizing patriotism, responsible citizenship, and the historical legacy of the school.
Simply put, a planned gift is a contribution that is arranged in the present and allocated at a future date. There are a number of Planned Giving Options available. These options can be executed during a donor’s life or through their estate plans.
​
Your legacy gift also qualifies you for membership in the KDS Legacy Giving Society, a recognition club established to honor those individuals who choose to support the school through an estate gift.
