Remembering Marietta City Schools With a Planned Gift to the Marietta Schools Foundation

We are always humbled when we learn of a person leaving a bequest to the Marietta Schools Foundation in their will.  Graduates of Marietta High School have traveled and lived widely in the world, but even after many years, Marietta City Schools still holds a special place in their hearts.

Planned Giving or Legacy Giving provides alumni with the opportunity to create a lasting legacy and continue the mission The Marietta Schools Foundation to avidly support the students, educators, and staff of Marietta City Schools.

Bequests are just one way of making a planned gift.  Gifts can be unrestricted or designated to a program or endowment that was close to a donor’s heart.  Gifts can have an instant impact on the Foundation and the school system.

The Marietta Schools Foundation has 50 endowments that are designated toward scholarships, Mentoring for Leadership, the Student Life Center, the Marietta Performance Arts Center, the Marietta City Schools Band Association, to name just a few.  (See the complete list of endowments below.) The more these endowments grow, the more they support Marietta City Schools.  Or you may wish to establish your own endowment at the Foundation to support MCS.

The Marietta Schools Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (TIN 58-1524893).  It's important to know that the Marietta Schools Foundation is very special in many ways, but foremost is that we do not charge fees or take away any money from gifts or contributions at all.  No service fees.  No transaction fees.  No handling fees.  Nothing.  One hundred percent of all contributions go toward the donor’s intended purpose.

Below is some sample copy to create or designate a bequest to the one of our 50 endowments.  Your estate planner can also provide you with an additional copy for your specific needs, especially if you’d like to create your own endowment.

As mentioned, bequests are just one way to make a planned gift.  There are other options available for you to provide a planned gift.
