Ways to Give
A variety of charitable giving opportunities are available to alumni, families, and friends who want to help by contributing to MARR. MARR’s top giving priorities for 2008-09 are the Annual Fund and the Scholarship Fund. All gifts – large and small – are gratefully accepted and individually acknowledged. Our commitment to remain affordable and accessible to ALL of those in need can only be fulfilled through the generosity of alumni, families and friends. For more information about gifts, please contact the Fund Development Office at 678-805-5110.

| Annual Fund |
The annual fund is foremost and vital to MARR’s charitable mission. These unrestricted funds are needed for growth and the long-term stability of the organization. |
| Scholarship Fund |
MARR has created a scholarship fund to help alleviate the financial barrier and allow immediate access to treatment for those clients that have the need. |
| Memorial/Tribute Gift |
Memorial/tribute gifts are a wonderful way to celebrate someone’s sobriety or a special occasion, to thank a friend or relative for their support, to honor a special person in your life, or to remember the life of a loved one. |
| Matching Gifts |
You can often double or triple your gift to MARR with matching funds provided by your employer. Check with your company’s personnel office to see if your company offers a gift matching option. |
| Will or Bequest |
This is the easiest and most frequently used method of deferred giving. You will retain control of your assets and your heirs may experience tax benefits from your charitable gift. Click Here for specific bequest language. |
| In-Kind |
Contact the Fund Development Office to discuss these gifts. |
| Life Insurance Policy, 401(k), or IRA |
Your paid-in-full insurance policy may be used to create a current gift to MARR. This gift can help your heirs save on income taxes. |
| Charitable Trusts |
A Charitable Remainder Trust allows you to receive lifetime income and then will support MARR when it matures. A Charitable Lead Trust allows MARR to receive a steady stream of income during your life, then the property will go to your heirs. |
| Stocks and Bonds |
You may save on capital gains taxes when you donate highly appreciated securities or use them to create a charitable remainder trust. Click here for stock transfer policies and procedures. |
New Tax Law – if you are 701/2, new tax legislation allows you to give up to $100,000 directly from your IRA without triggering federal income taxes. The gift will also satisfy the rules for required minimum annual distributions.
However and whatever you choose to give, know that your support is truly appreciated.
