Leave a Legacy

The Process is EasyOnce you have determined that you would like to make a bequest to MFRFMA, the following sample charitable bequest language may be used in your will or revocable living trust:

The corporation shall be known as the Military Family Relief Fund, Mid-Atlantic, Inc.

10. To foster and encourage an enlightened public appreciation of the contributions of the Military Family Relief Fund, Mid-Atlantic, Inc.

11. To collect or raise funds, donations, contributions and gifts that support and accomplish the above listed purposes.

Donating appreciated securities, including stocks and bonds, is an easy and tax-e�ective way to make a gift to MFRFMA. Your gift will further MFRFMA’s mission of telling the Guard’s story and you will not incur capital gains tax on the sale of appreciated securities. In addition, you will receive an immediate charitable income tax deduction.

If you are 70 ½ years of age or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to bene�t MFRFMA and receive tax bene�ts in return. You can donate up to $100,000 from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) directly to MFRFMA without having to pay income taxes on the money. Plus, this distribution can satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year.

Gifts of life insurance that is no longer needed can o�er excellent tax bene�ts and at the same time make a signi�cant gift to support telling the Guard’s story. You can name MFRFMA as the bene�ciary of a new or existing life insurance policy or designate MFRFMA as the owner of your policy in your lifetime.

A planned or deferred gift to the Military Family Relief Fund Mid-Atlantic (MFRFMA) is a meaningful way to create a lasting legacy of support. There are several options available to meet your appropriate needs.

The most common and simplest form of planned giving is a bequest – a gift that is made through a donor’s will. Your will or trust document provides a speci�c understanding as to how you wish to transfer your assets to the people you love – and to those charitable organizations that you have supported in your lifetime. You can make a bequest in your will or living trust as your ultimate charitable gift to support MFRFMA’s educational and scholarship programs. This gift costs you nothing now, so there is no risk to your lifetime �nancial security, and is exempt from estate taxes.

“I hereby bequeath $______________or _____% of my estate to the MILITARY FAMILY RELIEF FUND - MID ATLANTIC (federal tax ID number 46-3037557), located in Baltimore, MD, to be applied towards the general tax-exempt purposes of the organization, or restricted to the following program:_______________________.”
