Giving Opportunities

There are a number giving options when making a contribution to Marin Academy. The Advancement Office is available to answer questions about supporting MA.

Gifts of Cash
A cash gift entitles you to a charitable deduction against income. The deduction must be taken in the year in which your gift is made. Cash gifts can be made as a one-time contribution, or in installments as payments toward a pledge. Cash gifts may be paid via check or credit card.

Gifts of Stock
A gift of appreciated securities entitles you to a charitable deduction equal to the fair market value of the securities, and none of the appreciation in the security is taxable to the donor. To make a gift of stock, please read the instructions on our website or contact Anna Heidinger, Director of Institutional Advancement, at 415.453.3616 ext. 224 or aheidinger@ma.org.

Matching Gifts
Companies often sponsor matching-gift programs that can double an employee’s charitable contribution. Ask your company’s personnel office for more information on directing a matching gift to MA. Once received, matching funds count toward your yearly donation.

Bequest
A bequest to Marin Academy supports the future of the School and is not subject to federal, estate, or local inheritance taxes. The value of the bequest is deductible in determining the taxable estate.
