Bequest
By naming Morrison in your will you can create a permanent source of support for children. While the bequest is the most common form of "planned gift," other options, such as gift annuities, are also available. Significant tax savings are part of the strategy for planned gifts. An estate planner or attorney can be very helpful in determining the best plan for you.

Appreciated Stock
Many donors find gifts of appreciated stock to be an excellent way to support a charity. There may be considerable savings on capital gains through a stock gift (ask a broker or financial planner).
Call (503) 258-4296 for info on making a stock donation to Morrison.

Come to an Event
Morrison plans several special events to introduce you to our programs, and to other supporters. They’re fun - and they give you even more creative ways to participate and help.
For a list of Morrison's events, visit Special Events.

Just Being There
An hour a week. A half day every month. One day a year. Making a regular time commitment that fits your schedule can be an extraordinary asset to Morrison. Many volunteers feel they gain more than they give because of the meaningfulness of the activities - not to mention the fun of connecting to others who share your commitment to children.
