Marin Advocates for Children relies to a large extent on individual donations to fulfill its mission. Every donation is important and each one makes a difference in a child's life.   We have created a number of ways in which you can invest in Marin Advocates for Children and all the children we serve. Because Marin Advocates for Children is a 501(c)3 non profit public benefit corporation, all donations are tax deductible.

Help sponsor a special event

We are always looking for individuals and corporations to become sponsors of our special events.   These sponsorships can take the form of cash donations, services, or items of interest that could be auctioned or raffled off in order to raise much needed funds for our programs.

Corporate matching donation programs

Check with your company Human Resources department and find out if they have a matching donor program. If they do, then it is often possible to double your contribution because of a matching amount from your employer.

Create a legacy through your will

A number of longtime Marin Advocates for Children supporters have made legacy bequests in their wills to help fund MAC's mission for the long term. There are many different ways in which you can make legacy bequests, such as gifts of cash, real estate, or personal property.
