"There are many ways to give."
All donations are welcome.  Large, small, one-time, continuous endowments and deferred gifts - all of these tax-deductible donations work to support the program.  All donors will be given appropriate recognition.  For example, the tack room bears the name of a generous donor.  Other facilities are available for donor recognition in perpetuity. 

Here are a few ways to make your tax-deductible gift: 

Cash
Gifts In Kind
Deferred Giving
Usually in the form of a check, this is the most common form of charitable giving.  Some choose to make a gift as a memorial or to honor a loved one. Donations of equipment, horses, feed, land or other valuables that can be used or sold to support the program. Many people remember charities in their wills by leaving property, 
insurance benefits, 
income producing trusts or a combination of these.  Contact the Office of Institutional 
Advancement at 
(256) 761-3202 if you have questions about this option.

Planning Your Year End Giving

Any time is an ideal time to make a charitable gift to the MGH Foundation.  So as you plan your year-end giving, consider one of our charitable accounts available through the MGH Foundation. 

Endowments – donors may wish to establish an endowment or add to an existing endowment.  Endowment funds are a body of money, the principle of which is not used.  Only the earnings each year from investing these funds is spent.  This means your gift keeps giving continuously without ever exhausting the principle!  What’s more any pledge to the endowment fund of $10,000 or more entitles the donor to have a separate endowment fund named after either the donor or a loved one. 
Currently our endowment fund is over the $500,000.00 mark with a goal of $2 million.  For more information call Tim Greene at 256-761-3364 or Jessica Edmiston at 256-761-3470. 

Capital Fund – to ensure resources to maintain, expand, restore or replace existing structures or equipment.  General operating expenses are on the rise as our program expands and our facilities age.  Donors are encouraged to make tax-deductible contributions in support of any of these funds. 

Gifts-In-Kind - MGH can always use items as well as monetary donations.  Tack, equipment, copy paper, brooms…anything equestrian or office related is welcome, even horses in need of a good home (horses must be sound and healthy and will be on a 90 day trial basis before being accepted into our program). If we can use it, it will be tax deductible. 

Rider & Horse Sponsorships - Through our Adopt-A-Rider/ Horse sponsorship, donors can sponsor one or more students per year, or forever through multiple giving options. 

With a gift of $1,000.00 per year, you can sponsor a horse or a rider. Opportunities are also available to endow a rider forever by creating a named sponsorship through a planned gift to MGH. 

When you adopt a rider, you are helping him or her grow stronger in his or her skills and confidence. The adoption of a horse helps us to pay for veterinary services, Ferrier services, feed and any other expenses that may arise. We promise complete satisfaction!
