Leave a Legacy at the Mount
You’ve made thoughtful choices throughout your life, and supporting the Mount’s mission can be just as intentional. With a well-planned legacy gift, you can make a lasting impact while also aligning with your financial and estate-planning goals. Legacy giving isn’t about wealth; it’s about intention. By including the Mount in your will, retirement plan, or life insurance policy, you can support the causes you care about most and help ensure our mission continues for future generations.
Popular legacy giving options include: - Bequests: A simple addition to your will or trust
- Retirement accounts or life insurance: Naming the Mount as a beneficiary of all or a portion of these assets
- Charitable Remainder Trusts: Receive income during your lifetime while creating a meaningful future gift
Because charitable organizations do not pay income tax on retirement assets, these gifts can be a particularly effective way to support the Mount while preserving other assets for loved ones. Naming the Mount as a beneficiary is often as simple as completing a brief form with your plan administrator. To learn more about how a legacy gift can reflect your values and goals, visit msmary.giftlegacy.com. Our team is happy to help you explore options that support both your philanthropic vision and the Mount’s mission of academic excellence.
