From cash gifts to estate planning, Minnesota State Mankato offers ways to give that fit any budget or any long-term financial plan.
The easiest and simplest way to give!
Double, triple, or even quadruple your gift to Minnesota State Mankato!
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, trusts, life insurance and bequests. A planned gift can enable you to assist Minnesota State Mankato in its mission of education, research, and excellence while also reducing your burden of income, capital gains, or estate taxes.
Gifts of appreciated securities and mutual funds can be extremely beneficial – to both you and the Minnesota State University, Mankato Foundation. Gifts of marketable stocks or mutual fund shares that have appreciated can have an immediate impact for the University -- and also create an immediate income tax deduction for you based on the asset's current value. And because there is no capital gains tax when you make the gift, you save on taxes twice.
If you own property that is fully paid off and has appreciated in value, an outright gift may be the simplest solution.
