Giving back to Cashmere High School

Cashmere High School is going from strength to strength and continues to provide an opportunity for an education surpassing expectations. Enrolments are at an all time high and showing no sign of slowing down, yet the government funding the school receives isn’t sufficient to cover the cost of the buildings required for the number of students attending the school. This creates the opportunity for all Past Pupils and Friends of Cashmere High School to get involved in supporting the school and facilitating a pride in our shared education experiences, taking Cashmere High School from Great to even Greater.

Gifting at all levels can make this possible.

Cashmere High School Foundation is a registered charitable trust with the Charities Commission #CC22995. This means that there are usually tax benefits in giving to the trust. 

Each donor’s situation is unique. Some donors will find it easiest to simply do a bank transfer entitling them to a tax rebate. Others may find it more tax effective to get tax deductions by donating through their family-owned companies or via their family trust.

Bequests

It is also becoming increasingly popular for people to look at supporting their communities by earmarking donations through a bequest. If this appeals to you the Cashmere High School Foundation encourages you to talk with your legal advisor about updating your will and defining your bequest. 

Whatever the size of your gift, whether it’s a Life Membership, a one-off donation, or part of a regular giving scheme, it is your participation that is crucial and valued. Your gift really does make a difference.
