An Example of How It Works
When Sarah's father passed away, she knew she wanted to do something that would establish a lasting legacy for him. She remembered that during his lifetime he was always praising the the Scholarship Foundation for its tireless efforts to better his community.
Sarah decided to make a gift to the the Scholarship Foundation in her father's name using appreciated securities. Not only will her father's legacy live on at the the Scholarship Foundation thanks to the gift and a commemorative plaque, but Sarah also received a federal income tax charitable deduction (because she itemizes her taxes) and eliminated capital gains tax on the securities.

"My bequest is not a gift. It's payback. I joined the Corps as a young college student and the Marine Corps turned me into who I am today. Including the Scholarship Foundation in my estate plans seemed so appropriate."
Oskar Feichinger
"The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation can honor my Dad's life by helping other kids of Marines as my Dad has helped me."
Sean Moore
"My commitment to my Marine brothers extends to their children; especially those children who have lost a dad or mom in the line of duty."
Eric Candelori
"For not a lot of money today, my life insurance gift will create a significant gift to the Scholarship Foundation in the future - perpetuating its mission and support of Marine families."
Randolph H. Smith
"My father taught me to always invest in your community and the people in your community. The Marine Corps invested in me and turned my life around. My bequest to The Scholarship Foundation is one of the best ways for me to give back."
Deb Carstens
"Helping children of Marines graduate from college debt-free motivates me to support the Scholarship Foundation year after year. Joining the Rockmore Society allows me to extend that support well beyond my life time."
Deb Cafferata-Refalo
"Someone that didn't know me, took a risk and invested in me. So now I get to take that same leap of faith. By including the Scholarship Foundation in my will, someone else is going to get a gift that keeps on giving."
Bernadette and John Heenan
"Our CGA does so much while also providing educational opportunities for the children of Marines; it’s an important component of our crash proof retirement plan and alleviates the day-to day concerns about the stock market. When we created our gift annuity we achieved current and future tax deductions and ensured a long term income stream for the rest of our lives."
