Giving to KIS

Reunion, Memory, and Memorial Gifts

Many KIS classes set special annual giving goals in honor of their reunions. Also consider making a gift in honor or in memory of a classmate, family member, or staff member.

Gifts of Stock

A gift of securities is a great way to support KIS and the donation may have favorable tax implications for donors. Making a gift of a security or to obtain details on the donation of securities, contact us by sending an e-mail to Principal@kis.in

Legacy Gifts

KIS greatly appreciates legacy gifts made through a bequest from a donor’s estate. We have established the Shola Society to recognize the generosity of alumni, current and former staff, parents and friends who have made a decision to leave a financial legacy that will help to ensure the future of KIS. We would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and your homeroom teachers to discuss your philanthropic goals and how you can include KIS in your estate and financial plans. All discussions are confidential. To discuss adding KIS as a beneficiary in your will, contact Principal@kis.in
