Leave a Legacy
Planned Giving
Naming the Mars Home for Youth Foundation in your will or adding a codicil is a wonderful and memorable way to leave your legacy to MHY. Please let us know if you plan to include MHY in your will, as we would love to acknowledge you for your generous gift.
Endowment Fund
Establishing an endowment fund creates lasting financial resources for MHY, helping ensure that at-risk youth and families who depend on our support can continue to count on MHY for many years to come.
Life Insurance
Transferring ownership of a life insurance policy to MHY, or naming MHY as the beneficiary of your policy, is an affordable way to guarantee a sizeable legacy to the agency.

Corporate Giving
EITC
Turn Your PA Tax Dollars into Student Impact
Through Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC), eligible businesses can make a powerful investment in students while receiving valuable state tax credits. When you direct your EITC giving to MHY Family Services, you help strengthen educational opportunities, therapeutic support, and student-centered programming at Longmore Academy, our K-12 school on the grounds of our campus located in Mars, PA.
Your support does more than provide funding. It helps create a learning environment where students can grow, heal, discover their strengths, and thrive in school, in the community, and in life.
EITC giving is a meaningful way for businesses to align their tax strategy with community impact. Instead of sending all eligible tax dollars to Harrisburg, your company can invest in local children and families through innovative educational programs that change lives.
If your business is interested in participating, MHY can help you understand the next steps, confirm eligibility, and move through the process with confidence.
