The Mar-Lu-Ridge Annual Fund
Gifts to Mar-Lu-Ridge's Annual Fund support the overall ministry of Mar-Lu-Ridge. Gifts to the fund may be presented at any time during the year. Proceeds are used within the annual operating budget to:

keep fees for services and programs reasonable and within reach of most campers
provide "campership" scholarships to families who cannot afford to pay full camp fees
purchase capital equipment and make modest capital improvements
underwrite start-up costs of new programs and supplement special programs

Capital Projects
Mar-Lu-Ridge is proud to partner with congregations in an effort to support children,as well as increase awareness of Outdoor Ministries and the importance of this place apart, a place in which we can meet God.

Our facilities are aging, and while we have been able to make small improvements in recent years, it has become necessary to renovate and enlarge our main dining area. By increasing the size of this space, we accomplish two things:
- We can accommodate large groups in one seating for meals
- We will have a multi-purpose room for gatherings in the event of inclement weather.

Your pledges and donations will help us reach this goal of one million dollars. You may choose to designate your donation specifically for Capital Improvements. These funds will be set aside and used to renovate the dining facility when our goal is reached. To date, we have over $100,000 in pledges through the Metro DC Campaign, and $200,000 through the DE MD Campaign. Thank you for prayerfully considering your part in this project.

Planned Giving/Endowment Fund
This "Heritage Society" serves to honor people who have included Mar-Lu-Ridge in their estate plans and will also identify people who have done so. All bequests, unless designated by the donor for other uses, will enhance the Mar-Lu-Ridge endowment. An estate planner is available to speak with interested parties. Please contact the Mar-Lu-Ridge Executive Director, 301.874.5544 or 800.238-9974 or Exec@Mar-Lu-Ridge.org
