Ross Gratitude 2023-24

Ross depends on the support and engagement of our trustees, parents, alums, friends, and students to ensure the school has the resources to sustain our mission.

Giving to the school can come in many forms: gifts of service, gifts in-kind, gifts of securities, and cash gifts to the school.

  • The Ross Parent Association is a great place to start for exploring volunteer service opportunities. To volunteer, please reach out to Ali Pratt, Chair of the Ross PA.

  • Gifts in kind should be discussed with the respective Division Head or Head of School in advance to ensure the gift matches the school's needs.

  • Donating gifts of appreciated securities that have been held for more than one year provides many benefits to donors:

    -Donors will avoid all capital gains tax on the appreciated portion of the stock.

    -They will qualify for a tax deduction equal to the stock's fair market value.

    -Donating appreciated securities also allows donors to make a more significant gift than might be otherwise possible.

    To donate stock, instruct your broker to use the following information:

    LPL Financial

    DTC #: 0075

    Account #: 7531-9546

    Account Name: Ross Institute

    All securities must be placed in Ross Institute's name before being sold; otherwise, you will be responsible for paying the capital gains tax. Please instruct your broker to contact Ross School's CFO, Valerie Vlacancich, at 631-907-5102 to inform us that your gift is being transferred.

    If your broker has questions, they may contact Valerie Vlacancich, CFO at Ross School, at 631-907-5102 or vvlacancich@ross.org and Lania Cross, Regional Sales Director & Wealth Advisor at Dime Financial Services, at 631.786.7197 or lania.cross@lpl.com.
