Welcome to Mountain States Foundation Planned Giving More and more people are taking advantage of the many gift-planning options available today. These include bequests by will, revocable trusts, gift annuities, charitable trusts, gifts of securities and real estate, in-kind gifts, endowment giving and other possibilities. A planned gift usually requires more thought than a quick check written against monthly income. These gifts often come out of estate assets. You have to consider the impact of your gift on you overall financial condition. Can you afford a sizable gift at this time, or should you make it later by will? What is the best way to make this gift? Do you need temporary or lifetime income from your gift? What are your tax implications? Mountain States Foundation wants to help you make a good gift better. We can asssit you in finding the best gift plan, explain the various options and provide tailor-made illustrations. We will be sensitive to your financial needs and objectives, and always protect your confidentiality.
