Planned Gift
A planned gift to MCT is arranged between you and your family, your legal advisor, and your financial advisor. This is an outright planned gift of cash or other assets (including property, stocks, etc.) that are designated for MCT in your will. While not required, MCT appreciates being notified of these types of gifts as you are planning them, particularly when non-cash assets are involved.
Charitable Gift Annuity
This powerful giving option benefits you and MCT immediately. By creating a Charitable Gift Annuity that is designated MCT’s endowment, you benefit from the Montana Endowment Tax Credit (METC). This is a direct tax credit based on a percentage of the value of the planned gift. Individuals and businesses can take advantage of this tax credit through qualified planned or deferred gifts to endowments. MCT has partnered with the Montana Community Foundation to establish the MCT, Inc. Community Arts Endowment Fund. You can learn more about the benefits of the METC here.
Considering these legacy plans can feel overwhelming. We’re here to help make these conversations and decisions easier.
Please contact Carlyn Schulzke at cschulzke@MCTinc.org or (406) 829-5219 if you’re interested in pursuing a planned gift to benefit MCT.
