Financial Contribution
When you want to share the memories of your loved ones on happy occasions like birthdays, wedding, graduations, and anniversaries, you can request friends and relatives to donate to Maharashtra Foundation in lieu of flowers and gifts. Your joys and memories will be enhanced thousand fold by remembering people who need and deserve your help. Many of our friends have done this in the past.

Sharing pleasant emotions with friends and family make our life colorful, enjoyable and vibrant. And sharing painful emotions with friends and family keeps the pains bearable and memories worth cherishing. In such cases also people have prefered to donate to Foundation instead of sending flowers.

You can make a tax-deductible financial contribution. Please send checks payable to Maharashtra Foundation.

There are several other ways to make donations to the Foundation:
1. Gift of Securities
Some donors prefer to use appreciated stocks instead of a personal check. This kind of donation is advantageous to the donors, as they can save the capital gains taxes at both federal and state level. The donors have to authorize the broker to transfer the securities to Maharashtra Foundation. For complete procedures and more details please contact us.

2. Matching Gifts
Many corporations match or multiply their employee’s gifts to a charitable organization. Please ask whether your employer or your spouse’s employer participates in such a program. If such cases, you have to follow some formalities in your company, complete some form and send it to the Foundation. We then complete the form after we receive your donation and forward it to your employer for their matching gift.

3. Contributions to United Way
Maharashtra Foundation is registered with United Way. If you are making a payroll deduction for contribution to United Way, you can designate Maharashtra Foundation as your choice organization for your donation. Some corporations match employee’s contribution.
