We deeply appreciate the support of our donors. Donations to The AML Foundation assist in advancing the following priorities:

	Promotion of policies and practices to reduce barriers and make it easier to adopt AML’s “Family Building Fund” provides financial assistance to benefit individuals and couples desiring to complete domestic and international adoptions.
	Courageously speak the truth with conviction AML’s educational programs dispel myths and change negative attitudes toward adoption.
	Isn’t It Time to Grow Your Family? AML’s Public Awareness Campaign promotes social change in the area of adoption.
	Formation of Domestic/International Adoption Alliance (DIAA) AML’s comprehensive campaign forms a committed and like-minded network aimed at aligning Domestic and World Leaders on the issue of adoption.

Honors and Tributes
This is a wonderful way to pay honor or tribute to someone.  Making a donation to the AML Foundation is a wonderful way to:
• Celebrate a new birth, a wedding, an anniversary or other joyous occasion
• Remember someone who has passed away
• Honor a family member or loved one
• Thank someone for a favor or helping out with an event
You will certainly think of more reasons to pay honor or tribute to someone.  And AML will thank you for your generosity.

Employer Matching Gifts
Thousands of businesses have Matching Gift programs which double or even triple individual, tax-deductible contributions made by their employees. Check with YOUR employer to see if they will match gifts to AML -- your gift could be at least doubled. Some employers even match retiree’s gifts. Please take a moment to get a matching gift form from your personnel office and follow the directions to initiate a match. Thank you for making the extra effort — and for your double support!

Securities Donations
A charitable gift of stocks or bonds provides an opportunity for tax saving while generously sharing with others. A gift of stock owned for more than one year entitles you to a charitable deduction for the full market value at the time the gift is made.

Gifts of Real Estate
Real estate -- It’s about more than location. It’s also about making a tax-advantaged gift to The AML Foundation. A gift of real estate may consist of a full or partial interest in almost any kind of property, including a residence, vacation home, farm, ranch, condominium, cooperative apartment, commercial property—even raw land. Real estate gifts may be made outright to AML or used to establish a planned gift.

Gifts of Personal Property
When considering a gift, remember that valuable collections, works of art, and other forms of tangible personal property can be contributed. By donating such items during your lifetime, you can reduce the size of your estate (thereby reducing any estate taxes at your death) and may also receive a charitable income tax deduction in the year of the gift. Because special gift acceptance policies and tax rules apply to these types of gifts, we encourage you to consult your tax or financial advisor when considering such a gift.

Planned Giving Options, including:
• Charitable remainder trusts
• Charitable gift annuities
• Deferred gift annuities

Bequests
A gift to AML by will or trust is a creative way to help the Foundation in the long term, while still retaining full control of your assets during your lifetime.
