 WAYS
OF GIVING
Thank
you for making a gift to MARE. Your financial gift will support
our recruitment efforts to find a permanent, loving adoptive
family for every child waiting in the Massachusetts foster
care system. Your help will bring a brighter future to these
children who only want “a place to call HOME.”
Gifts can be made to our general fund, or for a specific purpose,
such as adoption parties, the Heart Gallery or specialized
recruitment. Whichever you choose, you will be making a difference
in the life of a child.
You

 PLANNED
GIFTS
Planned
giving is increasingly becoming popular as a means to transfer
wealth to a charitable organization and to heirs. Planned
gifts to MARE can generate lifelong income, convert low yielding
assets into a higher income stream, reduce or eliminate capital
gains and estate taxes and obtain significant income tax deductions
for the donor.
MARE can
offer a variety of life-income arrangements, including:
- Appreciated
securities
- Bequests
- Charitable
Gift Annuities
- Charitable
Remainder Trusts
Donors
often find that a combination of planned gifts produces the
best results. We are happy to meet with you and your financial
advisors to design the most advantageous ways of giving for
you.
For more
information, please contact MARE at 617-54-ADOPT (617-542-3678)
or 1-800-882-1176.
