Donations
Behind every service we provide is a person—a child eager to learn, a senior who values independence, a parent working hard to provide for their family.
Your donation to MDSCAA directly supports our neighbors who need a helping hand. Whether it's providing nutritious meals, offering educational opportunities, helping with heating costs, or assisting with housing, your gift empowers people to overcome challenges and build better futures.
Join us in our mission to ensure that everyone in our community has access to the resources they need to live with dignity and hope.

Planned Giving
Leave a Legacy for Your Community
​
A planned gift lets you support MDSCAA's work for years to come, without changing your finances today. Whether it's a line in your will, a beneficiary designation, or a gift of stock, planned giving is one of the most meaningful ways to make sure your values keep making a difference in Delta, Menominee, and Schoolcraft counties.
​
​
What Is Planned Giving?
A planned gift is a charitable donation arranged now that takes effect later, often as part of your will, trust, or estate plan. It costs you nothing today, and many people are surprised at how simple it is to set up.
The most common form is a bequest, a gift made through your will or living trust. Other options include:
-
Beneficiary designations on a retirement account, life insurance policy, or bank account (often just a form, no attorney required)
-
Gifts of stock or securities, which may offer tax advantages over giving cash
-
Real estate or personal property
-
A gift made in memory or honor of someone
Gifts of any size matter. Planned giving isn't reserved for the wealthy; it's simply a way of saying this cause matters enough to plan for.
​
Why It Matters
A planned gift gives MDSCAA the ability to think long-term, whether that means sustaining a program through a hard year or investing in something new for the community. It also gives you the chance to decide, in your own words, what you want your legacy to look like.
​
How to Get Started
-
Take stock. Make a list of what you own and who and what matters most to you.
-
Decide on your approach. A bequest in your will, a beneficiary designation, or a gift of stock are all straightforward starting points.
-
Talk to a professional. An estate planning attorney or financial advisor can help you choose the right approach for your situation and make sure it's set up correctly. [MDSCAA does not provide legal or tax advice.]
-
Let us know. We'd love to thank you and make sure we understand your wishes. Letting us know also helps us plan for the future, though your gift can always remain anonymous if you prefer.
