Major Gifts & Planned Giving

Creating Lasting Impact for Children andFamilies

Make Kids Matter works alongside individuals and families who wish to make meaningful, long-term investments in the well-being of children and families. Major gifts and planned giving provide an opportunity to align philanthropic goals with measurable community impact while supporting the sustainability and growth of our programs.

We value thoughtful, personalized philanthropy and are committed to working closely with donors and their advisors to ensure every contribution is structured in a way that is transparent, tax-efficient, and aligned with donor intent.

Major Gifts

Major gifts play a vital role in advancing the mission of Make Kids Matter. These contributions support program expansion, operational strength, and long-term planning, allowing us to respond effectively to community needs and deepen our impact.

Donors may choose to support specific programs, provide general operating support, or contribute toward organizational capacity and long-term sustainability. We welcome conversations around recognition preferences, reporting expectations, and areas of alignment to ensure each gift reflects the donor’s goals and values.

Donor-Advised Funds

Make Kids Matter accepts contributions through donor-advised funds, including those administered by Fidelity Charitable. Donor-advised funds offer a flexible and tax-efficient way to support our mission while maintaining philanthropic planning objectives.

Donors recommending a grant through a donor-advised fund may designate a specific program or allow the gift to support our work where it is needed most. Our team is available to assist with the grant recommendation process and to provide any organizational information required by fund administrators.

Planned Giving

Planned giving allows supporters to create a lasting legacy while supporting children and families for years to come. These gifts are often integrated into broader estate and financial plans and can provide significant tax and financial benefits.

Planned gifts may be made through a variety of vehicles, including bequests, beneficiary designations, or other legacy giving strategies. We encourage donors to consult with their financial and legal advisors and are happy to coordinate with advisors to ensure gifts are structured appropriately and in accordance with donor wishes.

Stewardship ad Transparency

Make Kids Matter is committed to responsible stewardship of every contribution entrusted to us. We prioritize clear communication, ethical financial practices, and respect for donor intent. Donors can expect professionalism, accountability, and meaningful reporting that reflects the impact of their generosity.
