Create a Legacy
Will / Living Trust
A bequest is a gift to the MVCC Foundation that is not payable until death. A simple designation in your will or trust costs nothing during your lifetime and provides the peace of mind that your gift can be modified should your circumstances change.
Retirement Plan Assets
Retirement plans such an IRA, 401(k), or 403(b) can be subject to double taxation including ordinary income tax and estate tax. Retirement plan assets left to the MVCC Foundation may reduce the size of your estate and subsequent tax liability for your heirs.
Life Insurance Policy
The MVCC Foundation can be named as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy, which can be modified at any time should your circumstances change.
Stock and Appreciated Securities
Giving appreciated securities can be more tax efficient than giving cash. When making a gift of securities to the MVCC Foundation directly, you will receive an income tax deduction for the full market and may avoid paying any capital gains tax.
Charitable Remainder Trust
A charitable remainder trust is an irrevocable trust that generates an income stream for you, your family, or other designated beneficiary for a fixed length of time, or for a lifetime, and will name the MVCC Foundation as the remainder beneficiary.
Donor-advised Fund
You can make a gift from your donor-advised fund to support the MVCC Foundation, Inc.
Cash
Cash is the easiest way to make a gift to the MVCC Foundation and provides the maximum tax deduction. The MVCC Foundation accepts cash, check, credit card and wired funds.
