Support of Specific Programs

Foundations, corporations and individuals may select specific MTEF programs to support based on their funding priorities.

 

Unrestricted Contributions

Unrestricted operational support from foundations, corporations and individuals is an important source of income for MTEF.  It allows MTEF to direct the funding to the greatest area of need.

 

Friends of the Foundation

The "Friends of the Foundation" campaign is MTEF's annual individual fundraising effort. Donations to the MTEF Friends campaign may be made at any time throughout the year, but solicitation letters and remittance forms are mailed every November 15th. To view and print a copy of the MTEF Friends remittance form, please click here.



 
    
 

Matching Gifts

If you are employed by, retired from, or a board member of an organization with a matching gift program, you may be able to double your gift to MTEF.  If the organization matches gifts to social services agencies, please forward the appropriate paperwork to MTEF so we may follow through with the application.

 

Honorary and Memorial Gifts

Many donors make gifts "in honor of" or "in memory of" a friend or family member.  MTEF will send an appropriate letter to the person or family specified acknowledging the gift.

 

Stock Gifts

Making a gift via stock can reduce or eliminate capital gains tax and result in a charitable deduction for the full, appreciated value of the stock.  MTEF will send stock transfer instructions upon request to your broker or agent.

 

Bequests and Special Gifts

MTEF welcomes special gifts to ensure that its vital services continue in the future.  As a non-profit organization, MTEF can be named as a full or partial beneficiary in a will, life insurance policy, retirement plan, annuity, or trust fund.  Donors are welcome to meet with MTEF's staff or have their lawyers or accountants contact MTEF.  Copies of MTEF's tax-exempt certification and audited financial statements are available from the MTEF staff office.



 
    
 

Volunteers

Volunteers are vital to the continued success of MTEF. MTEF relies on over 300 volunteers annually to help support our different programs. Many of the successful MTEF programs are volunteer driven. Lend your time and expertise as a tennis instructor, educational tutor, or any one of the many special fundraising efforts of the foundation. Click here to volunteer.

 

In-Kind Gifts

MTEF accepts the donation of products and services from foundations, corporations and individuals.  Such gifts offset costs and help MTEF programs run more effectively and efficiently.  MTEF can provide documentation for in-kind donations to ensure that the contributor receives appropriate tax benefits.

 

Workplace Giving

If your place of employment conducts an annual charitable gift drive, you can designate the Milwaukee Tennis & Education Foundation to be the recipient of your payroll-deduction gift.
