Planned Giving<br />

Meet <strong>Community</strong> Prep<br />

<strong>Community</strong> Prep can help you take<br />

advantage of important personal and<br />

family financial and estate-planning<br />

benefits. There are many incentives<br />

for charitable giving offered under<br />

current tax laws. It is entirely possible<br />

for you to make a generous gift to<br />

<strong>Community</strong> Prep and obtain significant<br />

financial and estate planning<br />

benefits for you and your family.<br />

These incentives can help you:<br />

● bypass capital gains taxes<br />

● increase current income<br />

● increase current income tax<br />

deductions<br />

● increase gift and estate tax<br />

deductions<br />

● conserve estate assets for heirs—<br />

even in some cases pass on a<br />

larger estate!<br />

You can obtain these benefits by<br />

giving a variety of assets—instead<br />

of giving only from your income.<br />

For example, you may make gifts<br />

of cash, stocks and bonds or even<br />

real estate. In addition, you may<br />

give either currently or through<br />

your estate plan.<br />

For more information about planned<br />

gifts, please call Dana DiMarco at<br />

Max Kohlenberg<br />

Max Kohlenberg became a trustee of<br />

<strong>Community</strong> Prep in 2001, but he knew<br />

about the school long before that and<br />

was curious to learn more. Growing up<br />

in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Max was<br />

familiar with independent schools, and<br />

has always been interested in innovative<br />

educational programs. He remains<br />

involved with the schools he attended,<br />

and knows the importance of giving back.<br />

As a Partner at Edwards Angel Palmer<br />

& Dodge, LLP specializing in estate<br />

and land conservation planning, it was<br />

not a hard decision for Max to include<br />

<strong>Community</strong> Prep in his own estate plans.<br />

“Of the many charities that I give to,<br />

<strong>Community</strong> Prep continues to stand out<br />

—every year I can see and hear the results<br />

in the accomplishments and voices of<br />

the students. I want to make sure that<br />

<strong>Community</strong> Prep is fiscally strong<br />

throughout my lifetime and then some.<br />

On my way out the door, I want to<br />

reaffirm what it was that I cared about.”<br />

Max continues to help <strong>Community</strong> Prep,<br />

serving on the Development and Nominations<br />

and Governance Committees.<br />

“If you are thinking about leaving<br />

<strong>Community</strong> Prep in your estate plans,<br />

I assure you, it is a great investment<br />

in our future.”<br />

Thanks Max, for all your hard work<br />

and kind words!<br />

In the past year, there were two “Meet <strong>Community</strong> Prep”<br />

receptions. The first was held at the University Club and<br />

hosted by a committee made up of Trustees, parents and<br />

alumni. Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge graciously<br />

sponsored this reception. Everyone enjoyed delicious food<br />

made by Chef Gary Comella who is also a <strong>Community</strong><br />

Prep Parent! Thanks to Stephanie Ogidan Preston for her<br />

words of wisdom regarding her <strong>CP</strong> experience. Student<br />

projects and artwork were displayed for attendees to learn<br />

about our curriculum and culture of learning.<br />

Charley and Sarah Denby hosted our first “East Bay”<br />

reception on June 27 in their Barrington home. Attendees<br />

enjoyed scrumptious food while watching a Calculator<br />

Club in action! Alumnus Julian Dash shared his <strong>CP</strong><br />

experience with the crowd and answered questions about<br />

the school.<br />

All who attend these receptions are invited to visit<br />

<strong>Community</strong> Prep.<br />

We are like one big happy family! We are a<br />

puzzle that needs everyone to complete it.<br />

We are a community. Ema Graham, grade 7<br />
