Ways to Give

Gifts of publicly-traded securities that have appreciated over time allow you to claim a charitable deduction for the full fair-market value of the stock in the year the gift was made. Gifts of securities may be made by:

1. Electronically transferring the securities from your brokerage account to one maintained in the name of Norfolk Academy (Brokerage Firm contacts), or
2. Delivering the securities to the School along with a signed stock power form.

For more information and to notify us of your intent, contact Page Sykes at 757-452-6766 or psykes@norfolkacademy.org.  Please include a description of the stock to be transferred, the number of shares, the brokerage company, and the desired purpose of the gift (Security Transfer Sheet).

Norfolk Academy’s Spirit Brick Walkway is located at the front of campus just outside the Tucker Arts Center archway. Be a part of this beautiful Norfolk Academy entrance and create a lasting legacy for your Bulldog!
A brick can be engraved to permanently honor someone in the Academy family or to commemorate a special event, such as a 6th or 12th grade graduation. Proceeds from Spirit Brick purchases are directed towards student scholarships and are 100% tax deductible. Bricks are installed prior to the start of each new school year and are placed in the walkway in the order in which they are received.  

Each brick may have up to 3 engraved lines, 14 characters per line (including punctuation and spaces). All text will be centered on the brick. Please find a few examples below or you are welcome to create your own message within the guidelines.
