Giving options:
Cash
Checks should be made payable to Menninger and mailed to:
Menninger Development Office
2801 Gessner Drive
Houston, TX 77080
Pledges
Pledges, payable to fit a convenient payment schedule, are welcome.
Appreciated Securities
The advantages of transferring appreciated securities and donating the proceeds are: capital gains may be avoided, and the donor may still claim a charitable deduction. Since the majority of securities are transferred electronically, please phone Menninger Development at 800-288-3950 of your intent to transfer the securities to Menninger and also have your broker contact us by phone for transfer instructions.
Real estate
Send a deed by registered mail to our office naming Menninger as the owner of the property.
Charitable Remainder
Life Income Trusts
Contact the Menninger Development Office for assistance in establishing a tax-saving charitable remainder trust that will pay you or a beneficiary income for life. There is no obligation.
Insurance policies, collections and other assets
Please name Menninger as the beneficiary.
Bequests by will
Please specify Menninger. Additional information will be provided to your legal or financial counsel upon request. Gifts of all kinds to Menninger are gratefully accepted and are deductible for personal or corporate tax purposes to the fullest extent of the law.
Memorial gifts
Any of the previous methods of giving may be used to establish a memorial. We are happy to accept both living memorials in honor of the donor and gifts to establish a memorial in honor of someone else. There are numerous immediate opportunities in Menninger's work for named gifts and memorials. A named fund may be established with a gift of $10,000 or more.
