A Legacy Gift
Without Affecting Your Current Assets
Drawing up a will can be the first step toward a wise financial plan for you and your family, as well as for the charitable organizations you support. A valid will allows you, rather than your state's law, to determine the distribution of your assets upon your death. Whether you provide for a spouse, children, or charitable organizations, your will should be prepared with the help of an attorney and reviewed regularly.
A bequest through a will or a revocable trust is the most popular and flexible way of making an estate gift to Michigan Tech. Over the years, the Michigan Tech Fund has received bequests of all sizes. Such gifts do not need to be large to have a lasting impact on Michigan Tech’s students, faculty, and programs.
