About the Holden Circle

Stan Wattles ’80
As a legacy donor, it brings me great joy to know that my support for Colorado Rocky Mountain School will extend well beyond my lifetime. Being part of the Holden Circle reinforces my deep connection to the values and mission of this incredible institution. I encourage others to consider the power of legacy giving and to explore the helpful resources available here to learn how they too can leave a meaningful mark on the school’s future.

Tip of the Week

Variety is the spice of giving.

You can give almost any kind of highly appreciated property—such as closely-held stock, real estate, partnership interests, or valuable art—to a charitable remainder trust and receive major tax and income benefits.

So, all at once, you can:

  • Receive income for life
  • Take a charitable tax deduction
  • Avoid all capital gains tax
  • Support the mission of Colorado Rocky Mountain School

You can even allow your assets to accumulate tax-free until you "turn on the income spigot" at retirement or some other future event, such as the start of your child's education.
