The Friends Collaborative
Greene Street Friends School is a member of The Friends Collaborative, a unique program created to support scholarship at Quaker Schools in Pennsylvania. Individuals who participate in The Collaborative are able to receive a Pennsylvania Tax Credit of 90% of their contribution for supporting scholarships. Please contact Maani Waldor (mwaldor@greenestreetfriends.org) for more information and to see if credits are currently available.Supporters can make an automatic recurring gift each month to Greene Street Friends through greenestreetfriends.org/giving or via the Development Office. Sustainer support enables you to make a meaningful contribution that is convenient, easy on your wallet, and helps the school plan out its budget year.
Appreciated Securities
A gift of appreciated securities can often bring greater tax savings than a cash gift. Since you may be able to claim a tax deduction for the market value, you may avoid capital gains tax. Call us for details before contacting your broker. (215) 438-7002

Many donations qualify for corporate matches, including gifts from retirees and spouses of employees. Ask your company’s personnel office if you are eligible and double your impact.
