Gifts to the Research & Education Endowment Fund can be made in numerous ways, each of which provides the Fund with the support it needs, while enabling you to potentially realize immediate tax savings.  From a tax planning perspective, a bequest in your name or the name of a loved one may be an excellent way to designate your charitable gift.  Possible tax benefits associated with a contribution may actually help you accomplish personal planning objectives in ways that benefit you, your loved ones, and your charitable interests. 

Ways to give to the fund:
Cash
Purchasing "In-Honor" or "In-Memory Cards"
Bequest
Securities
Life Insurance Policy
Other Planned Giving Options
Gift Annuity

SMA's Research & Education Endowment Fund also exists to give those in the medical profession a way to Memorialize or Honor those who have made a difference in their lives.  In an effort to assist with this we have available "In-Honor" and "In-Memory" cards.  The cards can be purchased for $25.00 each or 4 for $75.00.  All proceeds from the purchase of these cards benefits the Research & Education Endowment Fund.  To purchase cards, just complete the order form here.
