Gift Options

Cash

Cash contributions to the Michigan 4-H Foundation can be made:

As quarterly payments.
As one-time gifts, such as memorial or tribute gifts.
As monthly gifts through an automatic electronic fund transfer of money from the donor's bank account to the foundation's bank account.
By Mastercard or VISA credit or debit card.

Appreciated Stock and Other Appreciated Securities

Donating appreciated stock or other securities usually offers better tax advantages than donating cash. Not only does the donor receive state and federal income tax reductions, depending on eligibility, but this method also allows donors to avoid capital gains taxes on the appreciated value.

Planned Gifts

You can make plans for support of Michigan 4-H Youth Development through your will or estate plan. We strongly suggest you consult with both your legal advisor and a Michigan 4-H Foundation representative before making such a gift. Learn more about planned gifts to support Michigan 4-H.
