​

Planned Giving- From charitable trusts and retirement plan gifts to gifts of real estate or bequests, there are many ways to support MA while also taking advantage of tax benefits. 

​

For example: If you are 72 years old or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to benefit MA and receive tax benefits in return. You can give up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to MA without having to pay income taxes on the money. Another way is through a life insurance policy. There are three ways to use a life insurance policy as a way of giving to MA; 1) Name Marion Academy as a beneficiary of the policy, 2) Make an outright gift of an existing policy, and 3) Make an outright gift of a new policy. Call 334-683-8204 for more information. 

​

Matching Gifts Don't forget to check to see if your employer provides matching gifts. You also may qualify for a match, which doubles, and sometimes even triples the impact of your gift if you or your spouse are employed by a matching gift company.

​

Future Gifts include gifts that produce an income, gifts by will or trust.

Corporate & Foundation Gifts- MA has worked closely with corporations and foundations in the past 30 years.
