Planned Giving
Your Contribution, Our Future.
Let us help you tailor your charitable gift to your financial, tax or estate planning goals.
About Bequests and Estate Gifts
Estate and bequest gifts are made through your will, trust, or other estate plans and allow you to provide future support for heart health while still caring for loved ones. By including the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation in your plans, you help advance cardiovascular research, education, and community outreach for years to come.
Whether your legacy gift is large or small, it creates lasting impact and can be structured in the way that works best for you—such as a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the balance remaining after other gifts are made. To learn more or begin planning your legacy, please contact our development team so we can help align your gift with your goals for the future.
Additional Legacy Gift Options
- Beneficiary designation gifts from retirement plans, IRA charitable rollovers, and life insurance policies
- Gifts of stock and bonds
- Gifts of real estate
- Gifts of retirement assets
- Gifts of insurance
- Endowment gifts
Van Tassel Legacy Society
Members of the Van Tassel Legacy Society are donors who have made a future gift commitment to the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation through their will, trust, or other estate and financial plans. By doing so, they help ensure that leading-edge cardiovascular research, education, and care will continue to advance for their children, grandchildren, and generations to come.
Estate commitments that qualify for Van Tassel Legacy Society membership can include bequests, retirement plan or IRA beneficiary designations, life insurance policies, and other planned gifts. In many cases, these gifts can also provide meaningful financial or tax advantages for donors and their families, while creating a lasting legacy of support for heart health.
