Success & Significance
The Benefits to You, Your Family and Charity, of Planning Your Gift
For most of us, achieving financial success takes a lifetime of work and cultivation.
But we know that as important as achieving financial goals may be, money isn’t everything. It’s what we do with the money that counts.
You planned your success, you worked your plan, and now you and your loved ones are reaping the rewards of your hard work. Yet significance doesn’t just come from accumulating income. Significance comes from how we use our resources to benefit the world. So how do exactly do you turn financial success…into true significance?
Just as you planned your success, you can plan your significance, too. In our DVD, Success and Significance, you’ll learn how the IRS will reward you with meaningful tax benefits if you’re willing to plan a gift to charity. Everybody wins—-you’ll end up with a smaller tax liability, the charity of your choice will receive a meaningful gift, and those you love will one day inherit more… all because you took the time to plan your significance and not just your success.

Considering The March Of Dimes
A Legacy of Saving Lives
President Franklin Roosevelt established the March of Dimes in 1938 to save America’s youth from polio. His premise was that people can solve any problem if they work together. He created a partnership of volunteers and scientists and within 17 years, the Salk vaccine had been developed and polio was on the run.
That dynamic partnership has endured—and it’s what makes our organization continue to work. With the help and support of the American people, we have saved the lives of millions of babies for almost 70 years; and we won’t stop until we reach the day when every baby is born healthy.
Today’s Challenges, Tomorrow’s Victories
Today, the fight to save babies goes on. Our researchers, volunteers, educators, outreach workers and advocates work together to give all babies a fighting chance against the threats to their health: prematurity, birth defects, and low birthweight.
If You Want to Help
Join millions of volunteers and donors who are helping us save babies. Everyone can be a hero for America’s babies in some way. To find how you can help, visit www.marchofdimes.com or call your local March of Dimes office. For more information about planning a gift to the March of Dimes please visit: www.marchofdimes.com/gifts or call 800-315-3698.
