Planned Giving
Have you included MnTC in your will? Your legacy gift will help give the gift of hope and life to MnTC residents for years to come.
Ways You Can Help
- Include MnTC in your will.
- Set-up MnTC as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy or IRA.
- Establish a charitable annuity to insure a steady stream of income for life, and also guarantee the future of MnTC.
- Tax benefits are possible by giving gifts of appreciated property such as real estate, including farms, vacation homes, residential properties and undeveloped land.
- Establish a trust with the recipient being MnTC.
Gifts-by-Will
Gifts-by-will are one of the simplest types of planned gifts, and may be changed at any time. Charitable gifts-by-will reduce estate taxes, while providing a larger gift than many individuals are able to make during their lifetime.
Gifts may be designated as unrestricted so they can be used where they are most needed, or you can designate your gift toward a specific area of interest if you wish.
The following model language may be helpful to you and your attorney in drafting your bequests to MnTC:
I hereby give and devise to Minnesota Teen Challenge, a Minnesota non-profit corporation, the sum of $___ or ___ (a description of property), or ___% of the residue of my estate, or the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, to be used for its general, unrestricted purposes.
