Other financial ways to support Spare Key
Memorial and Honorarium Gifts
Remember someone special with a memorial or honorarium to Spare Key. This is a thoughtful way to show your love and concern on special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, promotions or graduations or to honor the memory of a deceased friend or relative.

Please complete the Donation by Mail Form and indicate to whom you would like us to send a personal acknowledgement letter informing them of your thoughtful gift. Letters are sent on the day we receive the gift; the amount of your gift is never mentioned.

Your support will help Spare Key help families be together without risking the loss of their home during the critical illness or serious injury of a child. Thank you in advance for expressing your feelings via Spare Key’s memorial and honorarium program.

Monthly Giving
A monthly gift of any size can be charged directly to your credit card or withdrawn from your checking account.

Matching Gifts
Check with your company to see if they have a matching gift program. Many companies make this option available to their employees.

Stock Gifts
Both gifts of stock and closely-held stock are accepted by Spare Key. Gifts of appreciated stock are a wonderful way to make a lasting contribution. Additionally, you receive a tax-deduction and capital gains can be avoided.

Organization Giving
Encourage your company, church, or civic group to select Spare Key as their “charity of choice” or to receive a grant from your company’s charitable giving program. Spare Key has several volunteer opportunities that employees can participate in collectively to enrich the giving experience. Gifts of volunteer time and financial resources are equally appreciated. Seasonal opportunities and ongoing opportunities are both available.

Planned Gifts
Leave a legacy by naming Spare Key in your will, estate plan, or life income agreement, such as a charitable remainder trust or life insurance policy.

Planned gifts are a wonderful way for Spare Key to continue to respond more comprehensively for years to come to the needs of families with critically ill or seriously injured children. Should you remember Spare Key in your estate, will, or life insurance policy, the correct name of the organization is Spare Key.

Cooper

We spent 6 weeks in the NICU when Cooper was born, and now we are at the U of M for his open heart surgery.

We had thought this stay would be short, about 4-10 days. But here we are, 22 days later!
