Oak Knoll School of the Holy Child
Development Office
44 Blackburn Road

Oak Knoll can also accept gifts by credit card. You can make a one-time gift or a monthly, recurring gift. We accept American Express, VISA, and MasterCard. You can give online, or call Bea Fagan, director of annual giving, at 908-522-8105 with your credit card number.
Matching Gifts
Many employers match contributions made to charitable organizations, doubling or even tripling your gift. Often, your spouse’s employer will match personal contributions as well. In most cases, you will need to fill out a company form and enclose it with your gift. Please check with your company’s personnel or human resources department for information and for matching gift forms. You can also check directly with the Council for Advancement and Support of Education to see if your company matches gifts.

Certificates in your possession

Gifts of Real Property
The school will accept gifts of real estate. You might consider gifting your residence but keeping a life interest. This would allow you to continue living in your home as long as you wish, with the house passing to Oak Knoll at your death. The school also will accept outright gifts of any real estate that is free of mortgages or liens. Your tax advisor should always be consulted before making this type of gift.
Gifts of Personal Property
Oak Knoll will accept gifts-in-kind such as, but not limited to, works of art, antiques, jewelry, and furniture.
Gifts of Life Insurance
The school will accept fully paid life insurance policies for which the donor has transferred ownership to Oak Knoll School of the Holy Child.
Honorary or Memorial Gifts
The school is happy to accept gifts and donations to Oak Knoll made in honor or in memory of family, friends, and other members of the Oak Knoll community.
Gifts to Oak Knoll Through the United Way
Oak Knoll participates with the United Way, and donations may be directed to us through this organization. Sometimes this process does not unfold smoothly. The United Way is a national network of more than 1,300 locally governed organizations and each local organization has its own process. We thank you for your anticipated patience as we work together to direct United Way donations to Oak Knoll. Please contact the development office at 908-522-8104 for more information.
