Help Ivymount Transform Lives

Support the 2024-25 Annual Fund

Your donation supports high-quality programs and services for children and young adults with unique learning needs, including those with autism and other developmental disabilities. By fostering an “I Can” environment, we create the confidence to achieve.

You drive our vision for the future when you partner with us to: 

  • Provide intensive, individualized education and therapies not available elsewhere 
  • Develop our exceptional curriculum and services so every learner can reach their greatest potential  
  • Invest in staff excellence and sharing of Ivymount expertise
  • Power new technology and cutting-edge programs that contribute to the fields of special education and therapeutic interventions 

Multiple Ways to Give

There are many ways that you can make a meaningful difference in a young person’s life by supporting the work of the Ivymount Organization. If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer Reid at 301-469-0223 or jreid@ivymount.org.

When it’s time to update your will, you don’t have to start from scratch. You can use a codicil, a document your attorney can prepare to amend your will or trust without re-writing the entire document. The codicil adds a new gift to Ivymount while reaffirming the other terms of your will. An attorney can prepare an amendment to a revocable trust to add the Ivymount Organization.

Click here for a sample codicil, intended only as a guide. Please consult your legal counsel for preparing a codicil.

DAFs are for anyone who wants to make the most of their giving. They offer a tax-advantaged way to increase your impact, and they’re easier to use than ever before. Contact Jen Reid at jreid@ivymount.org for instructions.

You can have an instant impact on Ivymount’s mission and may see a tax break with your gift of a Charitable IRA Rollover of up to $100,000. With this gift, you can:

  • Avoid paying tax on your gift and all, or part, of your minimum distribution requirement
  • Enjoy a quick and easy estate tax reduction

Please complete the attached form.

You may choose to give long-term appreciated stock because you can deduct the fair market value amount and receive the benefit of avoiding capital gains tax on the sale of the security. Please contact Jen Reid at jreid@ivymount.org for transfer instructions.

“I've often said that ‘Ivymount has changed our lives.’ Because of their programming, our son has developed the skills and confidence necessary to prepare him for life after high school. We couldn't be prouder of him, and we couldn't be more thankful for Ivymount."

- Ivymount Parent
