Put Nishimachi in Your Plans

Planned gifts and bequests are made by individuals who include Nishimachi International School, or Nishimachi Foundation for U.S. taxpayers, in their gift and estate plans. Gifts of appreciated securities or real estate can be part of your planned gifts.

When making a gift through an estate plan, changes can always be made if your situation changes.

Simple

You can structure a bequest to leave a specific item or amount of money, make the gift contingent on certain events, or simply leave a percentage of your estate to Nishimachi.

Tax Benefit

While current gifts such as gifts of appreciated securities can have tax benefits, your estate may benefit from an estate charitable deduction, lowering the amount subject to estate tax. If your estate in Japan is subject to property tax, your gift may be entitled to a property tax charitable deduction for the gift's value depending on the location of the property or other circumstances.

Next Steps

To make a charitable bequest, you need a current will or living trust. We can provide example forms that may be helpful, but please consult your lawyer and tax advisor for tax advice and to draft specific directions.

Please contact the Nishimachi International School Advancement Office via email or call us at +81-3-3451-2167.

The CCP is a special corporate scholarship program that is available for organizations that are responsible for covering expatriate employee’s educational expenses. Instead of paying tuition and applicable fees, companies agree to make donations to the school. The donations are used partly to fund special corporate scholarships, which are granted to dependents of participating companies. Nishimachi is thus able to receive annual donations that exceed what is required to fund the corporate scholarships. For more information, please contact the Advancement Office.
