A legacy gift enables you to support Marine Corps Heritage Foundation, secures the financial needs of your loved ones, and provides you with tax benefits. Legacy gifts of all sizes combine to help us meet our current goals and reach further into the future.
By including Marine Corps Heritage Foundation in your will or trust, naming MCHF as a beneficiary of all or part of a life insurance policy, or taking advantage of other giving opportunities, you can preserve your assets now and support for years to come. Your gift will have a real, lasting impact.
Let us help you make the gift that's right for you. Request a confidential, no-obligation conversation to get started.
When you make a gift to Marine Corps Heritage Foundation from your will or trust, you'll be welcomed into the 1775 Society and join other supporters and friends of our important mission. Is Marine Corps Heritage Foundation already in your plans? Please let us know so we can properly thank you and make sure your gift will be used as you've intended.
Not only do you have options for how your gift to Marine Corps Heritage Foundation will be used, you also have options on what to give and how to give. There are gifts that cost you nothing now, gifts that pay you income, and gifts that allow you to decide what happens when.
Through a provision in your written and executed will, you can make a gift in the form of cash, securities, real estate or personal property. There are many types of bequests. Choose the one that best fits your needs and intentions.
You can turn underperforming assets (stock, cash in a savings account, CDs, savings bonds, etc.) into a gift to MCHF that provides income to you. Your Charitable Gift Annuity will give you quarterly, fixed payments for life and tax benefits, too.
Designate MCHF as a beneficiary to receive all or a portion of the balance of your Donor Advised Fund (DAF) through your fund administrator. You also can make a grant to us at any time from your donor-advised fund.
If you're 70 ½ or older, you can make a gift directly from your IRA to MCHF. While there is no charitable deduction for a rollover gift, you do avoid the income tax on the donated portion of your required minimum distribution.
Name Marine Corps Heritage Foundation as the beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy; donate an existing, paid-up life insurance policy you no longer need; or purchase a new life insurance policy and name Marine Corps Heritage Foundation as the owner and beneficiary.
There are many other ways to support Marine Corps Heritage Foundation through a planned giving vehicle. Charitable Gift Annuities, Charitable Trusts, Life Insurance and more may be good options for you. We can show you creative ways to use your assets to benefit Marine Corps Heritage Foundation, while at the same time preserving the benefits of those assets for you and your family.
Like stock, the fair market value of gifts of appreciated assets such as real estate, artwork, and other well curated collections, can be deducted from your income tax today and reduce your estate taxes in the future.
