Including Minneapolis College as a beneficiary in your will or trust is a meaningful way to support students, programs and the strategic priorities of Minneapolis College. Planned gifts, of a specific dollar amount or a percentage of what remains after you’ve provided for your loved ones, help sustain the College for many years to come. As with any gift to Minneapolis College, you may direct your gift to a specific purpose, a school within the College, program or other initiatives.
Sample Gift Language
To include a gift for Minneapolis College in your will or trust, we suggest using the following language:
“I give [the sum, percentage, or description of property] to the Minneapolis College Foundation to be used for the benefit of [area of greatest need, specific purpose, school within the College, program or other initiative] or [according to my written instructions on file with the foundation].”
Name: Minneapolis College Foundation
Address: 1501 Hennepin Ave. Minneapolis, MN 55403
Federal Tax ID number: 41-1288502
Foundation Staff can work with you and your attorney to customize this gift language to ensure that it accurately reflects your wishes and that the College will be able to use your gift as intended. The Foundation and Advancement professionals can help you designate your gift in a way that's most meaningful to you. If you prefer, your gift can be unrestricted, which means it will be used for the greatest need at the time it is received.
If you’ve already included a gift to the Minneapolis College Foundation in your will or trust, thank you! We encourage you to tell us about your gift by completing our Estate gift form (coming soon). By sharing your gift, you ensure that the foundation understands how you’d like your gift to be used. This document does not create a binding commitment. Any information you provide about your gift will be kept confidential.
All donors who make estate or other planned gifts are welcomed into the Minneapolis College Legacy Society, a community of forward-thinking donors who have chosen to invest in our College’s future and create a lasting legacy of support for students, programs and College initiatives. You can share your gift with us and remain anonymous if you choose.
