Support the MLS Foundation
Online Giving
Online giving with a credit or debit card is available through our secure site. You have the opportunity to direct your gift to several areas of need. You can choose whether to make a one-time or recurring gift to support the efforts of the MLS Foundation. You can also choose whether to use a credit/debit card or initiate a withdrawal from your checking/savings account.
Automatic Giving
Automatic giving is available for you to make your gifts on a schedule that you choose in advance. If you are writing checks and mailing envelopes regularly, you may find that electronic giving is a more convenient option. It also provides much-needed donation consistency for the foundation. It’s easy to set up automatic gifts using your bank account. If you’d like us to help, simply complete the form at the link above and return it to the foundation to get started.
