SUPPORT OUR MISSION

Your permanent capital can help The War Memorial plan for a stable and secure future.

Due to the selfless giving of generations of donors, The War Memorial has three endowment funds. Two of these are managed by the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan - our Grosse Pointe War Memorial Endowment Fund and our Grosse Pointe War Memorial Youth Enrichment Fund. If you are interested in learning more about how you can make a significant impact with our General Operations Endowment with Northern Trust, please contact us.

By contributing to these funds, you are providing us a reliable and ongoing source of financial support, and enable us to program more new and exciting initiatives, like our Children’s Enrichment Scholarship fund.

Planned giving allows you to support our work and service to the community while also deriving significant tax benefits for yourself. These gifts can be made in a variety of ways including cash, real estate, stock, life insurance, IRA’s and more.

To learn more about this easy process, please contact Meredith Hanoian at mhanoian@warmemorial.org or by phone at 313.332.4026.

Sponsoring our programs, events, or activities is a great way to promote your business or organization to our engaged and excited audience. Many activities are available for sponsorship at a variety of levels and with different packages of sponsor benefits.

If you would like to support our programs with in-kind donations, which are non-monetary assets that represent value to The War Memorial, we have many opportunities available. Some gifts-in-kind are used for our activities and save us money, while others are given in the expectation that they will be sold to help fund our work.

To sponsor our programs and events, or provide an in-kind donation contact Meredith Hanoian at mhanoian@warmemorial.org or 313.332.4026.
