Annual Fund Gifts
Unrestricted gifts to our Annual Fund allow the Foundation to progress in reaching its goal of enhancing professional military education and leadership of Marines. The Annual Fund picks up where revenues leave off, enabling the Foundation to strengthen and enhance its programs. Because of the unrestricted nature of Annual Fund contributions, the money provides the additional budgetary support necessary to underwrite special initiatives of the University. Unrestricted gifts also permit the Foundation to tend to the daily, and sometimes extraordinary, costs of operating. Your gift to the Annual Fund makes a difference in allowing us to continue our mission.

Stock Gifts
Stock is a convenient way of giving that offers donors an additional tax savings. If you transfer stock that has been held for more than a year and which has appreciated in value, you will avoid tax on the gain. If your stock has been held for more than a year but has decreased in value, it may be more advantageous to you to sell the stock and give a cash gift to the Foundation. To make a gift of securities, please call (or have your broker call) John Hales, Chief Operating Officer at (703) 640-6835 or toll free (888) 368-5341.
Memorial and Honor Gifts
Each year, the Foundation receives many gifts "in memory of" a family member or friend. Donors recognize the importance that the Foundation played in their loved ones' lives and want to continue to support our mission. These gifts may be unrestricted, or designated to a specific fund. At the donor's request, the surviving spouse or a designated family member will be notified of the memorial gift. You may also make a contributions "in honor of" a special person or occasion. At the donor¹s request, we will be happy to send a special letter to the honoree notifying them of the donor's tribute gift.

Matching Gifts
Many Foundation supporters take advantage of their company's matching gift program. A matching gift program is a corporate-sponsored benefit that matches, doubles or even triples an employee's gift to the Foundation. Some companies also match gifts from retirees, spouses, surviving spouses, and outside directors. If your company has a matching gift plan, request the appropriate form from your Human Resources Department and forward it to the Foundation with your contribution.
