Ways To Give

A donor-advised fund is a simple, flexible, and tax-efficient way to support Sandy Spring Friends School. If you already have a DAF, you can recommend a grant directly to SSFS using the following information:

Legal Name: Sandy Spring Friends School
Tax ID (EIN): 52-0734979
Address: 16923 Norwood Road, Sandy Spring, MD 20860

You can also give through DAFPay, available on our standard Giving Form, which allows donors with most major donor-advised funds to make a gift quickly and securely:

DAF grants can support the Springers Fund, endowment, capital projects, or other school priorities. Please note that IRS regulations prevent SSFS from providing goods or services—such as event tickets or auction items—in exchange for a DAF gift.

If you plan to recommend a multi-year grant or would like your DAF to be recognized in a particular way, we’d be glad to work with you. Please contact the Savannah Renehan at renehsa@ssfs.org with any questions.

If you are giving by check, please make it payable to Sandy Spring Friends School and designate the fund name in the memo field. Mail your gifts to our address: 

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a savvy way for individuals aged 70½ or older to make a tax-free donation to a qualified charity, such as Sandy Spring Friends School, directly from their IRA. By choosing this method, the donation counts toward the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), but it isn’t included in taxable income, effectively reducing your tax liability. To make a QCD to SSFS, simply instruct your IRA custodian to transfer funds directly to our organization, ensuring the full amount benefits the organization without any tax implications for you. This allows you to maximize your contribution while enjoying significant tax savings.

Please include this information when working with your IRA custodian:
