Leave a Legacy - If you have made provisions for the
Mid-Michigan Chapter Red Cross in your will or estate plans, please
notify us so we can recognize you for your commitment. Any amount
qualifies for recognition in our Legacy Society. Your intent may
be provided in writing, or by calling 651-439-0031,
or sending an e-mail to Jan George.

Whether supported through an outright gift or planned gift, all
Red Cross programs are made possible through the generosity and
commitment of people like you. A planned gift to the Red Cross
helps to ensure the future of the services and programs we provide
in your community and worldwide and may further your financial
goals.
What are planned gifts… Planned gifts
include gifts through your will, charitable gift annuities, gifts
of life insurance, pooled income funds, and charitable trusts.
Bequest
Many of our supporters make charitable gifts by naming the Red Cross
as a beneficiary in their wills.
Life Income Gift
You irrevocably transfer some assets to the Red Cross now, and in
return, you (and a survivor, if you wish) receive income for life.
Gift of Life Insurance
Some of our supporters no longer need their life insurance, that
was purchased years ago to provide for children or other family
members, and donate the policy to the American Red Cross.
Charitable Lead Trust
Individuals with very large estates can use a charitable lead trust
to benefit the American Red Cross and pass principal to family members
with little or no tax penalty.
Gifts of Retirement Plans
Your IRA assets will be transferred to a charitable remainder trust,
the trust will provide life income to the beneficiary, and then
an eventual gift to the Red Cross.
