Planned giving through The Minneapolis Foundation creates gifts that last well beyond your lifetime. You can be assured that:
- Your gift will be carefully invested and administered.
- Distributions will be made according to your intent.
- Your family members can be involved in continuing your philanthropic traditions.
- You may be able to accomplish all of your charitable goals with a single gift.
- Your gift will continue to make a difference locally, nationally and even internationally.
The Minneapolis Foundation has been fulfilling the charitable wishes of Minnesotans longer than any other state foundation, and we welcome a wide range of contributions including securities, illiquid assets, real estate and retirement plan assets.
Even if you can’t make a gift today, you may be able to provide for a generous gift in the future. Whether you make a bequest or create a comprehensive estate planning strategy, we can help you create a planned gift that fits your interests and financial means.

Community Builders are individuals who have provided for the Foundation in
their will or estate plan.
Making a gift is as easy as designating the Foundation as the beneficiary of
an IRA or leaving a simple bequest. (For example: "I give [an amount of
money, shares of stock, a percentage of my estate] to The Minneapolis
Foundation.")
With our Legacy Funds, you
can specify a gift to support what you're passionate about, such
as children or the arts.
We can also help you design a planned gift to support the causes and
charities you care about most, after you've provided for the financial security
of your loved ones.
If you have made a gift to the Foundation, please let us know so we can
recognize your generous contributions.
You can email Mary
Ellis Peterson, gift planning officer, or call 612-672-3859.
