Ways to Give

All gifts are an investment in the ASP experience. There are several ways to make a contribution; explore the means that is right for you.

By Check

Please make checks payable to St. Paul’s School – Advanced Studies Program. Be sure to indicate in the memo field or in an accompanying letter that you wish to designate your gift to the ASP or related scholarship fund. If you have any questions regarding a donation by check to the ASP, please call Michelle Taffe ASP’85, director of the Advanced Studies Program, at 603-229-4715.

Send check to:
St. Paul’s School
Attn: Gifts Manager
325 Pleasant Street
Concord, NH 03301

By Credit Card

MasterCard and Visa are preferred, but we also gladly accept American Express and Discover. These gifts are recognized at full value on the date that a charge is accepted by the bank. If you wish to make a credit card gift, the information you provide will be used solely for processing your gift and verifying contact information. To make a secure, online gift, please click here.

If you wish to make a gift to an ASP related scholarship fund, please indicate your designation request in the comments section at the bottom of the form.

Through a Gift of Stock

The ASP happily accepts gifts of publicly traded securities with the following documentation. Please contact Michelle Taffe ASP’85, director of the Advanced Studies Program, at mtaffe@sps.edu before you transfer shares of stock to the ASP/SPS so that we can immediately identify you as the donor of those shares and therefore sell them right away and credit you in the quickest manner possible.  There are two ways to transfer securities:

  1. The preferred method of transferring securities is to do so electronically. Download this Stock Form for Donors, complete the form and email it to Michelle Taffe ASP’85, director of the Advanced Studies Program, at mtaffe@sps.edu. Once your completed form has been received by the ASP, you will be sent an email with the current Broker information.
  2. To send stock by mail, remit a dated but unendorsed stock certificate, a fully executed stock power form, and a letter of instruction to Michelle Taffe ASP’85 at mtaffe@sps.edu. In order to expedite the processing of your gift, St. Paul’s School should be designated on the stock power form or related instruments of transfer. In Part 3 of the form, be sure to indicate that your gift is for the ASP or related scholarship fund. The date of the postmark constitutes the date of the gift.

St. Paul’s School cannot sell stock unless the name of the donor is stipulated.  Consequently, donors cannot receive credit for “unclaimed” stock gifts.  Please contact Michelle Taffe ASP’85 at mtaffe@sps.edu for assistance.

Wire Transfer

Download this Wire Transfer Form for Donors to assist you in transferring a cash gift electronically. The form contains information your bank will need to transmit funds to SPS, and an easy fill-in section SPS will use to properly document and administer your gift. Please indicate that you wish to designate your gift to the ASP or related scholarship fund.

Matching Gifts

You may be able to double your donation to the ASP. Many employers sponsor matching gift programs to match charitable contributions made by their employees. Gifts from retirees and spouses may also qualify for a match. To find out if your company has a matching gift program, click here.

Include ASP as Beneficiary

You can support the ASP with gifts that don’t impact the way you live by designating St. Paul’s School/the Advanced Studies Program to receive estate assets in the future or by making immediate gifts to us of assets that are “out of sight and out of mind.” Click here to learn more.

Your Gift Makes a Difference

Your generosity provides high school juniors with the opportunity to attend the Advanced Studies Program, no matter the extent of their families’ resources. By making a gift to the ASP Annual Fund, you support critical parts of the ASP such as financial aid, faculty, interns, academic courses, and daily student life. By making an annual gift, you cast a vote of confidence in the program, and it helps sustain the ASP experience for well-deserving students.

Hear from Students

Don’t just take our word for us. Hear from 2022 ASP students about the difference your support made to their summer experience.
