Like you, St. Mark's is adapting and changing in response to the post-pandemic world. We continue to learn and to adjust. We’re sure that you do too. You have important priorities for your family and loved ones, and we know that they come first.
Each of us has experienced the joy we feel when we see the results of our charitable contributions. It’s uncanny, but one of the results of helping others is that we help ourselves. Focusing on the needs of others helps regain perspective on our own circumstances and give us a sense of control of our future. Helping others can diminish our own anxiety and build our own self confidence.
One way you might consider supporting St. Mark's is to include a bequest in your estate plans - a transfer of cash, securities, or other property to St. Mark's at the end of your life. It is one of the most popular types of gifts you can make.
One distinct advantage of this kind of gift is its flexibility — you can easily make changes any time your circumstances require, and it is revocable if your circumstances change. It also comes with possible tax savings. If your estate is subject to federal estate taxes, your gift to St. Mark's will qualify for an estate tax charitable deduction.
We are very grateful for your generous support and for your belief in our work. Our gift planners are ready to talk with you when you’re ready, and we hope that we can continue to be your partner as we move forward.
