Planned gifts, of any size, can have a significant impact on Woodstock School. These gifts allow you to support our students, programmes, and campus far into the future while potentially also providing tax and other benefits to you and your family.

Alumni wishing to consider Woodstock School in their estate plans and require US tax credit, can contact the Friends of Woodstock School Foundation directly to explore planned giving options. Ways of benefiting Woodstock School through a planned gift to the FWS Foundation are detailed on the Friends of Woodstock School website.
