Planned Giving
How do you want to leave your legacy? Support the Madison Public Library with a planned gift. “It was easy to name MPL Foundation a beneficiary of my IRA account. My future gift will be for endowment, so that its annual earnings help the library every year for a very long time. That's the kind of legacy I want to leave” - Nancy McGill, Member of the Silas Pinney Society What are Planned Gifts? Planned gifts come in many shapes and sizes, and are often the best way for someone who loves the library to make a significant contribution. Some planned gifts are quite simple, like leaving estate proceeds in a will, or even making a stock gift during your lifetime. Other gifts take a bit more planning and expertise, like a charitable gift annuity or a gift of life insurance.
