One of the most effective means of giving to Minnesota State University, Mankato is a planned gift. Gift planning is the process of carefully selecting the best methods and assets for making a gift, such as cash, stocks, bonds, real estate, life insurance, trusts, and bequests. A planned gift can enable you to assist the Minnesota State Mankato in its mission of education, research, and excellence while also reducing your burden of income, capital gains, or estate taxes.
One of the simplest and best ways to leave a legacy to Minnesota State University, Mankato is through your will.
Charitable Gift annuities are a perfect gift if you're retired, want to increase your cash flow with guaranteed payments, and would like to save tax dollars.
In the right circumstances, this can increase your income, reduce your taxes, unlock appreciated investments, rid you of investment worries and ultimately provide very important support to Minnesota State Mankato.
You can donate a life insurance policy to us or simply name us as the beneficiary. For the gift of a paid-up policy, you will receive an income tax deduction equal to the lesser of the cash value of the policy or the total premiums paid. To qualify for the federal charitable contribution deduction on a gift of an existing policy, you must name us as owner and beneficiary.
If you own property that is fully paid off and has appreciated in value, an outright gift may be the simplest solution.
