Memorial / Honorary Gifts

Recognize the importance of friends and loved ones while supporting the organization you love. With a memorial or honorary gift, you can celebrate a special occasion, honor the life of someone close to you, or express gratitude.

Matching Gifts

Increase your impact with a matching gift. Many companies offer a matching gift program for employees which can double, or even triple, the contribution. Retired employees, directors, and spouses are often eligible to participate in select programs. All matching gifts count toward your total contribution to Milwaukee Rep.

Stock

Gifts of stock, especially long-term appreciated stock, can be a tax-wise way to make your contribution. Notify the Development Department at 414-290-0717 when making a stock gift.

Donor Advised Funds

Take advantage of greater tax deductibility in a single year by making contributions to a donor advised fund, helping you reach the new itemized deduction threshold. Annual distributions can be made from that fund to Milwaukee Rep each season.

IRA Distributions

If you are 72 or older, take advantage of your IRA required minimum distribution to make your contribution. Avoid paying income taxes on those distributions while supporting Milwaukee Rep.
