Gift and Bequest
A gift and bequest is a combination of a current gift and a charitable gift made in your will or trust. It is an easy way to support our cause today and make a lasting future impact on Missouri State University Foundation.
Benefits of a gift and bequest
- Receive a charitable income tax deduction for your gift made to us this year
- Continue to use and control your assets during your lifetime
- Leave a lasting legacy through a bequest to support our work after you are gone
How a gift and bequest works
You can make a gift to support our work this year by contacting us or visiting our website. A charitable bequest is a way to make your giving go further. With the help of an attorney, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to be made to Missouri State University Foundation as part of your estate plan, or you can make a bequest by designating us as a beneficiary of your retirement account or life insurance policy.
Contact us
Your Gift and Bequest may be designated to a college, department or university-wide program of your choice. If you have been so generous as to create a gift plan to Missouri State University Foundation, please let us know. At no personal cost, we will ensure the specified purpose of your gift is documented appropriately with the Missouri State University Foundation, and recognize you and your family for your generosity.
