Join the Legacy Circle

Anyone who gives a planned gift to ACDA-MN’s F. Melius Christiansen (FMC) Endowment Fund joins the Legacy Circle.

What is planned giving?

Planned giving is a way to support ACDA-MN and the FMC Endowment Fund into the future. Planned gifts can be simple, flexible, versatile, and offer tax relief.

Who makes planned gifts?

Planned giving is for everyone. You don’t need to be a certain age, or have a certain income level.

How can I give?

You can give a planned gift to the FMC Endowment Fund through your will, trust, retirement plan, IRA, life insurance policy, or other financial vehicle. Simply designate ACDA-MN’s FMC Endowment Fund as a beneficiary, or leave a charitable bequest.

Flexibility

Because you are not actually making a gift until after your lifetime, you can change your mind or restructure your gift at any time.

Versatility

You can structure the gift to leave a specific item or amount of money, make the gift contingent on certain events, or leave a percentage of your estate to ACDA-MN’s FMC Endowment Fund.

Tax Relief

If your estate is subject to estate tax, your gift qualifies for an estate tax charitable deduction for the gift’s full value.

Charitable Bequest

Just the following few sentences in your will or trust are all that is needed.

I give (select one)

______ percent of my residuary estate

______ dollars

the rest and residue of my estate (after other bequests or designations are named) to the F. Melius Christiansen Endowment Fund of the American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota
Minneapolis, MN (EIN: 41-1816497), for its general tax-exempt purposes, but without other restriction as to use.
