Ways To Give

Your Generosity Can Do Amazing Things

When you give to Marbridge, your gift goes to enhance our Abilities Centered Training (ACT) opportunities, to build the scholarship fund for residents who do not have a funding source, to fund an endowment to sustain Marbridge for perpetuity and to assist in building a new Marbridge campus to continue to give our residents optimum lifetime care. Your gift makes a huge difference in the continued safety, well being and happiness of our residents' lives. For example:

  • A gift of $100 gives one resident one week of horticulture therapy.
  • A gift of $500 gives one resident one month of equine therapy.
  • A gift of $1,000 gives one resident, who has no family or funding, 2 weeks of direct care and training.
  • A gift of $2,550 gives one resident one month of Abilities Centered Training, which offers over 150 training opportunities per week.
  • A gift of $5,000 gives two residents one month of Abilities Centered Training.

Planned Giving

Planned giving provides a way for you to make a gift to Marbridge and at the same time receive favorable tax considerations. Marbridge has received many of its most significant commitments of support in the form of planned gifts, and we remain deeply grateful to our friends who provide for our organization's future in this way. By considering a planned giving option, you may be able to make a larger gift than you thought—a gift that also benefits you.

Gifts of Stock

A charitable gift of stocks provides an opportunity for tax savings while supporting Marbridge. A gift of stock owned for more than one year entitles you to a charitable deduction for the full market value at the time the gift is made. If the stock has appreciated, you also avoid a capital gains tax on the appreciation in value. If you would like to discuss a gift of stock, please call 512-282-1144, Ext. 449.

Special Events Sponsor

A great way for individuals and companies to lend significant support and be an integral part of Marbridge’s mission is by being a sponsor for one of our special events—the Special Olympics Banquet, the annual gala, and our annual Christmas Community Presentation. Email dsimons@marbridge.org for details.

In-Kind Donations

Community donations are important to the lives of our Marbridge residents. We must make sure that the residents' basic needs are met, and we want to enhance their quality of life as they move towards achieving their full potential. We have carefully itemized in each program's wish list the in kind gifts that we need. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Please check out our Wish Lists on our website to see how you can assist us. Marbridge does not provide pick-up services. In kind gifts can be delivered to each individual Marbridge community—the Ranch, the Village and the Villa.

Marbridge is tax-exempt under Section 501 (c) (3) of the IRS. We depend upon private donations to maintain the excellence of services for each resident. Thank you very much for your gift and your interest in the Marbridge community.
