With just getting our Marine Way Education Fund started, we really need community wide support from residents, organizations and area businesses to help get build up this fund and make it fully functional. To do this we need you! There are many ways you can help!
MAKE A GENERAL DONATION
Donations of any denomination are appreciated at any time during the year. Donate directly to the fund online by going directly to the M & M Community Foundation donation page. After you click on the donate icon, you have the option at the top of the page to designate which fund you want your donation to go. Type in "Marine Way Foundation Fund" and your donation will do directly into the fund. You can also CLICK HERE to download a printable donation form to print, fill out and send in.
SUBMIT A MATCHING GIFT FORM FROM YOUR EMPLOYER
Many companies are willing to match employee gifts to a non-profit. That allows you to double the impact of your gift. Quite often all it takes is getting a form to send in with your donation. In some cases, the non-profit has to be pre-qualified before your gift is eligible for matching. Please check with your place of business to see if they have a gift-matching program.
DONATE ITEMS TO FUND EVENTS (IN-KIND):
We plan on holding several events during the year. These events will provide an opportunity to help build community awareness for area businesses and organizations. Titled and supporting event sponsorship opportunities will be available. Silent Auction donations to these events are also greatly appreciated and are a vital part of the growth of the fund. Please contact the District for more information at [email protected] Many of these types of donations can be considered a donation of in-kind items.
DONATE YOUR TIME:
The Fund's programs and events are dependent on the time and energy of committed community volunteers. Please email us at [email protected] for more information on how to get involved.
CONSIDER THE FOUNDATION IN YOUR TAX AND ESTATE PLANNING:
Working with the M&M Area Community Foundation, The Marine Way Education Fund is able to receive stock transfers and/or can act as a beneficiary as part of your estate planning. Please let us know if you have named the Marine Way Education Fund as a bequest in your estate planning so that we can recognize you. For information on this or for help putting it in place, we suggest you contact Paula Gruszynski at the M&M Area Community Foundation. Their website can be found here: M&M Area Community Foundation.
