Planned Giving

Endowment Gift
Community Country Day School has established the Admiral Charles A. Curtze Endowment through the Erie Community Foundation. Endowment donations are invested. A portion of the annual income from the Endowment interest is used for immediate needs, while the remaining fund continues to be reinvested for ongoing support of CCDS. Endowment gifts provide you the satisfaction of knowing that your legacy will live on in the students you will help for many, many years to come.
Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC)
Community Country Day School is an EITC-eligible organization. Businesses can donate up to $750,000 each year to EITC-eligible organizations, and then claim 75 percent of that donation as a credit that offsets their state tax bill. The credit can increase to 90 percent if they commit to donate funds for two consecutive years.
