Like a cornerstone that provides strength and stability, planned gifts create a lasting foundation for generations of students to discover their purpose, grow in faith and make a meaningful impact.
In addition to the knowledge that you are helping MNU by encouraging others to follow your example, members of the Cornerstone Society receive the following benefits:
The Cornerstone Society recognizes those who extend that legacy by including MNU in their planned giving, helping ensure future students can experience Christ-centered education.
Build your legacy with intentional generosity to sustain the mission of MNU forever. Planned giving provides long-lasting support for MNU and our students and may impart financial benefits for you and your family.
By including a gift in your will or trust, you can leave a lasting legacy while maintaining control of your assets during your lifetime.
A charitable gift annuity provides fixed payments for life while supporting MNU, with an immediate partial income tax deduction in the year of your gift.
Create a lasting legacy through an asset you may no longer need or by making a relatively modest investment that results in a much larger future gift.
Naming a qualified nonprofit as the beneficiary of a traditional retirement plan maximizes impact while preserving other assets for your loved ones.
Turn appreciated assets, such as stock, into income. Ask us for a free illustration to see your potential income and tax savings.
Gifts of homes, farms, or other property that transfer to MNU upon estate settlement while maintaining control of your assets during your lifetime.
There are many ways we can help fulfill your philanthropic goals while enjoying tax savings, income advantages, and long-term charitable support. By informing the university of your intention to make a deferred gift, you allow the university to prepare for the future and express our gratitude today. Contact us to create a plan that matches your passion for MNU with your charitable goals. If you have already included MNU in your estate plans or intend to do so, please take a moment to complete the Cornerstone Society membership form.
