If you had a million dollars<br />

in your bank account to give to<br />

<strong>Magnolia</strong> <strong>Manor</strong>, how would<br />

you make the gift?<br />

Would you send a personal check through the mail?<br />

Probably not.<br />

Would you drive to the president’s office, walk in<br />

and personally hand him a check? Maybe.<br />

Would you call the Development Office and request<br />

someone to come and get the check? Perhaps.<br />

Would you give the money as an unrestricted gift, to<br />

be used however the <strong>Manor</strong> wishes? Possibly.<br />

Would you want your gift to go to a specific purpose,<br />

such as building construction or endowment growth?<br />

Could be.<br />

The point is, making a sizable gift to <strong>Magnolia</strong><br />

<strong>Manor</strong> or any nonprofit organization requires a<br />

variety of considerations. And, really, “sizeable” is<br />

a relative term. It may be $25,000 to one donor or<br />

may be a $1 million gift to another. In fact, even a<br />

gift of $10,000 can cause considerable deliberation.<br />

We in the Development Office of <strong>Magnolia</strong><br />

<strong>Manor</strong> understand the dynamics of gift giving and<br />

realize that philanthropic satisfaction relates not<br />

only to the size of a gift, but to such things as<br />

how it is given, who is involved, when it occurs<br />

and what it accomplishes. We appreciate concerns<br />

relating to privacy and family issues. We know that<br />

giving can have emotional dimensions far beyond<br />

the value of the gift.<br />

Our gift-planning specialists are prepared to<br />

assist you not only in transferring a gift of any<br />

size to <strong>Magnolia</strong> <strong>Manor</strong>, but also in helping you<br />

deal with various questions and concerns along<br />

the way. You will find us knowledgeable, skillful,<br />

courteous and respectful of your wishes.<br />
