There Is a Way to Give That Fits How You Have Built Your Resources

01

One-Time Gifts

The simplest way to invest: a single gift, given once, funding a Fellow’s scholarship, a Mentor’s certification, a Teams or Workshop program, or the growth of SLG’s ongoing mission. Your choice.

02

Recurring Monthly Giving

Monthly giving does something a single gift cannot: it gives SLG the predictable foundation to plan ahead, and it gives you an ongoing connection to the mission rather than a once-a-year touchpoint. Many of our most engaged donors started as monthly givers, because the relationship deepens with every gift.

03

Donor-Advised Funds

If you give through a donor-advised fund, SLG can receive your recommendation through Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, or any other DAF sponsor.

04

Planned Giving

Some of the most significant gifts to SLG’s mission are made through an estate: a bequest, a charitable remainder trust, or a beneficiary designation on a retirement account or life insurance policy. These gifts let you extend your legacy well beyond your lifetime, funding character-based leadership development for generations of leaders you will never meet. If you are considering a planned gift, we would welcome the opportunity to talk it through with you and your advisor.

05

In-Kind Donations

Not every gift is financial. SLG also welcomes in-kind support, including professional services such as legal, accounting, marketing, and design; materials and equipment; and event space and event support. If you have support to offer, we would like to explore the possibilities.

06

Corporate Sponsorship

Companies can sponsor SLG events, cohorts, or specific programs, a way to align your organization’s brand with virtuous character-based leadership development while directly funding the work. For organizations interested in a deeper partnership beyond sponsorship, see Partner With Us.

07

Capital Giving for Expansion or Innovation

For investors who want to fund something specific, a new program, a geographic expansion, or a growth initiative rather than general operations, SLG’s leadership team can walk through current capital priorities and possibilities directly with you.

08

The SLG Endowment

A gift to the Severn Leadership Group Endowment Fund, held at the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County (CFAAC), is invested for the long term so that its earnings support SLG’s mission year after year. It is a way to make your support permanent.
