Planned Giving

Mercy Education Project helps girls and women succeed in academics after experiencing educational failure. By providing excellent tutoring and educational programs that produce measurable outcomes, MEP not only improves the lives of the students, but of the entire community.

By supporting MEP through planned giving, you help guarantee that we will be here, helping girls and women overcome educational hurdles, well into the future. Also, many planned giving options offer immediate and/or estate tax benefits for the donor, so everyone gains. Charitable bequests and life insurance gifts are just some of the ways that you can help sustain MEP well into the future – and leave a legacy for future generations.

For information on planned giving, please contact our Development Director, Maureen Mulcrone, RSM, at (313) 963-5881 or smmulcrone@mercyed.net.

A Thousand Women Strong Initiative—and some good men too!

What could you do to change the world if you had 1,000 friends helping you?

Thousands of adults in the metro Detroit don’t have a high school diploma or the skills they need to hold a job.  Their children are likely to continue the cycle of unemployment, illiteracy and poverty in the future.

But together—you and Mercy Education Project (MEP)—can change these grim statistics.

Help us, before June 2013:

• Add 1,000 new donors and/ or donors who increase their giving level to our list of friends and supporters;
• Raise $300,000;
• Find 100 or more donors to give or pledge $1,000 or more;
• Increase MEP’s visibility in the community.

In the past year, the number of adult students at Mercy Education Project increased 48%.  Each quarter for the past 18 months, the number of people expressing interest in our programs has grown.

Your donation to our A Thousand Women Strong Initiative  provides excellent educational services now and helps MEP prepare to expand services in the future.

Ask yourself, “What could you do to change the world if you had 1,000 friends helping you?”

Maybe the real question is—what couldn’t you do?
