Plan Your Gift

MICF partners with the Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) to offer expert guidance on planned giving. Whether it’s a Unitrust, Deferred Annuity, or a Pooled Income Fund, our team can collaborate with your attorney or tax advisor to craft a giving plan that aligns with your goals.

Benefits of Planned Giving:

• Flexibility to support specific causes or general community needs

Choose Your Impact

• Restricted Gifts: Support a specific program, agency, or purpose.
• Unrestricted Gifts: Empower MICF to address the most pressing community needs.

Gifts may also be designated for current use or added to the Endowment Fund, where your principal remains intact, ensuring your gift continues to give for years to come.
