Annual Giving

As a community-based public charter school with very high expectations, we are in need of support from the greater Baltimore community. Critical to our success, private supporters make up the difference between per-pupil funding and what it costs to provide transformational educational experiences to our KIPPsters. Your support provides operating expenses, financial aid, facilities upkeep, professional development, student activities, and more.

Ways to Give

  • A Gift of Cash

    A gift of cash is the simplest method of contributing to the school. We also accept checks and Visa/MC/AMEX. If you wish your gift to count in a given year, it must be postmarked by December 31.

    To donate by mail, make your check payable to “KIPP Baltimore” and mail to:

    KIPP Baltimore, Inc.

    Attn: Development Office

    2000 Edgewood Street

    Baltimore, Maryland 21216

    For those tax filers who itemize, outright gifts of cash are fully deductible for federal income tax purposes up to fifty percent of your adjusted gross income. If, by some chance, your giving to charities during the year should exceed this limitation, the excess donated may be carried forward and deducted for tax purposes for up to five additional years.

  • A Gift of Stock

    Stock delivery instructions are as follows:

    Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC

    • Eliminate or reduce federal estate taxes
