Invest in MSPCC Through The Mary Ellen Society
Named for a little girl whose landmark child abuse court case led to the establishment of MSPCC in 1878, the Mary Ellen Society honors supporters whose generosity via bequests or life income gifts ensures MSPCC’s work will continues into the future.
Mary Ellen Society members receive invitations to all MSPCC events, and are listed on the members’ roster in MSPCC’s annual report and on our website. There are no dues, fees or minimums associated with membership in the Mary Ellen Society. There are many planned giving options available today that create financial benefits for you, the donor, and the organization receiving the gift.
