Planned Giving: FAQ

Q: What are some common Planned Gift options?

A: Wills: Remembering Jeremiah Program in your will allows you to retain the use of your assets during your lifetime while making a significant contribution to the organization. Charitable gifts made through your will are fully deductible for estate tax purposes, as the law allows. Please consult your attorney for professional assistance.

Account Beneficiaries: Designating Jeremiah Program as a full or partial beneficiary of a new or existing policy or account is an easy and economical way to leave a legacy. We invite you to consider naming Jeremiah Program as a beneficiary (full or partial) of an insurance policy, IRA, 401(k) or 403(b) qualified plan, certificate of deposit, savings account, money market account or similar investment.

Q: What will my attorney need to include Jeremiah Program in my will or trust?

A: Your attorney will ask for:

Our legal name: Jeremiah Program
Headquarters Address: 1510 Laurel Avenue, Suite 100, Minneapolis, MN 55403
Federal Tax ID Number: 41-1801834

Q: May I designate my gift for a certain use?

A: A bequest may be unrestricted, or you may restrict its use to general operating expenses, Minneapolis and Saint Paul Endowment Fund, or for another purpose. Many friends prefer their bequest be used to meet the organization’s greatest needs when the gift is realized.

Q: Should I notify Jeremiah Program of my planned gift?

A: We invite you to let us know of your intent to include Jeremiah Program in your will and/or estate plans. This gives us the opportunity to thank and recognize you in advance of receiving your planned gift. You would also be a member of our Michael J. O’Connell Society, with other generous donors who, like yourself, have made provisions for Jeremiah Program in their estate plans. If you prefer, you may enjoy membership privileges while remaining publicly anonymous.
