Mardan School

 Contributions


As a private, non-profit school, Mardan receives no direct funding from the federal or state government.  It is direct tuition, grants, and philanthropic contributions that enable Mardan to serve the students who would benefit from our therapeutic educational program.

Your contributions can help bridge the gap between tuition received and actual costs of a Mardan education.  It can make scholarship funds available to a child who may not otherwise be able to access our program because of the family’s financial status or our limited financial aid funds. Our desire is to be able to offer Mardan’s services to any child who would benefit, regardless of the family’s financial situation.

There are several ways that you may contribute to Mardan’s goals.  Mardan will be pleased to work with you in determining how you may wish to make a gift.  For anything other than cash gifts, please contact Mardan before making any transaction, and you are encouraged to consult with your own financial advisor regarding the transaction. 

Direct Cash Gifts Monetary gifts made during our “Year-end Appeal" held in November/December, and/or our “Spring Appeal" held in April of each year can be a tax deductible, charitable contribution that benefits the school as well as the donor. Monetary gifts may be given any time of the year as well.
Memorials Memorial gifts are a wonderful way to make a lasting impact in memory of a departed loved one.  A special note will be sent to the family to inform them of your remembrance.
Gifts-in-Kind
The donation of services and resources such as printing, computers and printers, classroom and office supplies can help Mardan.  Please contact us before making a donation to be sure your donation can be put to good use. 
Corporate Gifts Many companies have a corporate gift giving program, in which they match your gift to a non-profit service organization such as Mardan.
Gifts of Securities Gifts of certain readily marketable stock and other securities can benefit Mardan and may provide tax savings to the donor.
Endowments Endowment gifts will help ensure the future availability of scholarship funds for children who need the services at Mardan.  The principal of the Endowment will be invested and its earnings used to maintain scholarship assistance programs so your gift will provide permanent financial support and have lasting significance.
Planned Giving Planned giving strategies such as wills and special bequests can help build your legacy while also contributing to Mardan’s effort to continue to educate children with special needs today, tomorrow, and beyond. 
Fundraising Events
Participation, sponsorship, or support of fundraising events such as our Annual Mardan Cup Golf Tournament is another way to give to Mardan.  "All That Jazz", a casual music festival on the Mardan school grounds was a wonderful event held on May 30, 2009. A similar event is planned for next spring!  For more information, contact the Development Department at (949) 733-9239 or (949) 733-1500.
