How to Leave a Legacy of Friendship:

You can take steps now to make a long-term gift to the Friendship House MSU:

  • Will/Estate Plans: You can designate a specific amount or a percentage of your estate, or simply the remainder of your estate once all heirs are taken care of.
  • Insurance Beneficiary: Name the Friendship House MSU as one of your beneficiaries in a life insurance or retirement account.
  • IRA Charitable Gift: If you are at least 70 ½, a distribution will help meet your required minimum distribution — and reduce your taxable income.
  • Charitable Gift Annuity or Trust: Once established, you will receive an income stream, as well as ongoing savings while the Friendship House MSU will be the recipient of the remaining funds.
  • Memorial Gifts: Financial gifts in memory of a loved one.

Making long-term financial plans may simplify your estate for your heirs and may provide them with useful tax savings. We recommend you consult with your attorney or other professional advisors before making any financial decisions.
