The Mark Schonwetter Holocaust Education Foundation’s mission is about preserving the lessons of the past to positively impact our future, and you can build a legacy of your own by ensuring generations to come will know this critical history.
Including our Foundation in your yearly giving or estate planning as a beneficiary is a unique and meaningful way to make a lasting impact. Whether planning an annual or multi-year gift, or honoring the life of a cherished family member or friend, there are many ways to enshrine your values through a generous contribution.
Tax Efficiency: Many types of planned gifts can reduce the overall value of your estate, potentially lowering your tax burden. Additionally, appreciated stock donated through your estate avoids capital gains tax. A donor-advised fund (DAF) is one of the most popular tax-efficient ways to support nonprofits over time, offering both flexibility and potential tax advantages. If you already have a DAF, you can easily include MSHEF as part of your planned giving. Learn more about how DAFs work here.
Â
Impact: As the only organization granting funds to schools nationwide to promote Holocaust education, your donation directly provides teachers with the resources they need to teach about the Holocaust and counteract hate and discrimination in society.
Â
Fulfillment of Your Values: Your legacy gift reflects your commitment to Holocaust education and your dedication to combating intolerance and prejudice.
Â
Naming Opportunities: Establish your legacy of support by connecting your family name to MSHEF’s continuing mission to improve student access to Holocaust and anti-hate education for decades to come.
