Legacy Gifts and Bequests

A legacy gift is a planned contribution that designates a portion of an individual’s estate as a donation to a nonprofit/foundation. Donors can allocate a specific amount of money to give after they pass away, such as a lump sum or a percentage of their total estate, or they can choose to give the remainder of their estate to a nonprofit after all of their other bequests are paid.

Making a legacy gift to the Minnesota Architectural Foundation (MAF) enables you to create a powerful philanthropic legacy by investing in excellence, leadership, discovery, and equity in the profession of architecture in Minnesota.

The simplest way to bequest a gift is through your will and a living trust or beneficiary designation. Be sure to include MAF’s legal name, location and tax ID number and the nature of your gift (for example, cash, securities, donor advised fund, estate gift). Your planned gift can be designated to MAF in general or towards a specific named fund – review the MAF named funds and information. The MAF information to include is listed here:

Minnesota Architectural Foundation
105 5^th Avenue South, Suite 485
Minneapolis, MN 55401
Tax ID: 23-7086358

Named MAF funds to which you can designate (or not):
