Ways to Give
The Aim Higher Foundation does not provide financial or tax advice. Consult a professional for any financial or tax-related questions.
Help us open doors today - and tomorrow.
The Aim Higher Foundation provides renewable, year-to-year support. Once a scholarship is awarded, we are committed to supporting the student through 8th grade as long as there is continued demonstrated need. And we're providing this support for thousands of students throughout the 12-county Twin Cities metro area. This level of commitment is made possible only because of the extraordinary support of our donors. Thank you for your interest in joining this important mission. We encourage you to consult with your financial and tax advisors as you consider Ways to Give today - and tomorrow.

The gift you make today opens a door. Just this school year, 2,900 students walked into 80 different Catholic schools because of supporters like you. Your gift will help us continue to open more doors for more students.

Donor Advised Fund
Convenient and tax-efficient, a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) allows immediate tax benefits when gifts are made to a DAF, while also allowing donors the flexibility to make gifts from the DAF on their own timeline. Learn more.
Retirement Assets
A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows individuals to donate otherwise taxable distributions from Individual Retirement Account (IRA) directly to one or more charities, thus avoiding being pushed into higher income tax brackets should they have taken the distribution themselves. QCDs are a philanthropic option starting at the age of 70 1/2, and are of particular interest to those 73 and older facing required minimum distributions (RMDs).
Stocks and Other Securities
A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows individuals who are 70½ years old or older to donate to one or more charities directly from a taxable Individual Retirement Account (IRA) instead of taking their required minimum distributions. As a result, donors may avoid being pushed into higher income tax brackets.
Workplace Giving
Many local corporations offer workplace giving opportunities. Please consider looking into this at your place of employment.
You’ll be amazed how your consistent generosity - automatically gifted from each paycheck - will make a big difference after 12 months. Double your impact by signing up for your company’s gift matching program, also typically an automatic monthly gift. By the end of a year, you could fund a full scholarship or more!
Legacy Giving
Catholic schools’ simple and unwavering formula of academic excellence and character formation has, for generations, formed confident, conscientious, selfless leaders. Every child has this potential, and every child deserves access to the catalyst that makes this transformation happen - Catholic schools.
Your Legacy gift will ensure that at least one child - maybe many - will have this life-changing opportunity. We invite you to contact us today to discuss your Legacy giving plans.
