How to Support MHA

No one is denied our services because of an inability to pay. Private funds will guarantee that MHA will continue to have a major impact on the mental health of New York City, as well as to respond quickly to the city's changing needs. Here are ways you can help to ensure that our services are available to all who need them.

Donations
You can make cash donations at any time. You can specify that your donation be used to support a specific program or to provide funds for developing a new program. If you prefer not to restrict your contribution, it will be used where the need is greatest.

Tribute Gifts
This is a thoughtful way to honor the memory of someone important to you. You can also honor someone on a special occasion such as a birthday, anniversary, graduation, promotion, or significant achievement.

Planned Giving
There are a variety of ways to structure a planned gift to the Mental Health Association of New York City that can help you to minimize both your current taxes and your estate taxes. Approaches to Planned Giving may include bequests, a retirement plan gift whereby MHA is designated as the final beneficiary of your retirement or pension funds, a gift of an existing life insurance policy or the purchase of a new life insurance policy designating MHA as the beneficiary, or a current gift of cash or appreciated securities. To find out which approach best meets your needs, please consult with your attorney.

Naming Opportunities
A named gift enables you to support specific or general activities of MHA and to honor a family member, friend or colleague in perpetuity. A group of donors can pool their gifts to make a significant contribution in honor of a colleague.
