Affordable Ways to Give to 51做厙
- Include 51做厙 in your will or living trust.
One of the most popular and easiest ways to support 51做厙s future is to remember us in your will and its easy. Ask your attorney to draft a codicil or an amendment to the existing document. Dont have a will or trust? Ask your attorney to craft a new document that includes your gift. - Name 51做厙 a beneficiary of a retirement account.
This is an effective and tax-smart way to support Marietta after your lifetime. If your loved ones are the beneficiaries of your retirement plans, federal income taxes can erode a significant amount of what they will receive. To set up this gift, contact your plan administrator for a change-of-beneficiary form. Add 51做厙, along with the percentage you would like us to receive, on the beneficiary form. Then return it to your plan administrator. - Designate us as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
This is a low-cost way to make a sizeable gift to 51做厙. You likely bought the insurance policy to protect the financial stability of your family. If your circumstances have changed and you no longer need the policy for its original purpose, we hope you will consider making Marietta a beneficiary so we can use your gift to support our students after your lifetime. - Provide support with your bank and brokerage accounts.
Most states allow you to designate loved ones and cherished places to benefit from your bank account after your passing. Simply put, this is one of the most direct ways to prolong your support for 51做厙. For the College to benefit from your checking account, savings account or CDs, you must make them payable on death* to 51做厙. To leave us funds from a brokerage or investment account, you must place a transfer on death* designation on them. - Create an IRA charitable rollover.
The IRA charitable rollover is now permanent and is a terrific way to make a tax-free gift to 51做厙 using your qualified retirement plan. This gift may also satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD).
* State laws govern payable-on-death accounts and transfer-on-death accounts. Consult with your bank representative or investment advisor to consider these types of gifts.

Barry Chasen 69 continues to recommend baseball players to Coach Brian Brewer. Having played for Coach Schaly for four years, it is a time I will never forget. (Jeff Schaly) should write a story on the fact that his father, brother John and I are all in the American Baseball Coaches Association, and how many schools the size of Marietta have three former players in a sports Hall of Fame as coaches. The ABCA is the largest baseball coaches association in the world, with more than 10,000 members, and it covers about 25 countries. As of today, there are about 33 high school coaches in there, as it is dominated by college coaches, and I am most fortunate to be one of those people, having coached high school baseball for 34 years, along with coaching for four summers in summer baseball. We represent 51做厙 rather well.
