Life Insurance
- One of the simplest ways to make a significant gift is to designate
Melmark as the beneficiary of all or a portion of the proceeds of a
life insurance policy. You can thereby make a gift that may ultimately
be larger than its cost while enjoying favorable tax advantages.
Charitable Gift Annuities
- A charitable gift annuity offers you an opportunity to support Melmark
while receiving valuable tax benefits and fixed income payments at above
market rates.
Matching Gifts:
- Many employers match charitable donations made by their employees.
If you work for a matching gift company, be sure to obtain and complete
the necessary form to multiply your gift.
Securities:
- A gift of appreciated securities to Melmark may be the optimal way
to provide a significant contribution while realizing tax savings.
The generosity of donors and sponsors makes it possible for Melmark to
create innovative programs that significantly enhance the quality of life
for the people we serve.
