LEGACY PLANNING
SHOW YOUR
SUPPORT WITH
YOUR LEGACY
You may be looking for a way to make a significant impact for MICA. A legacy gift made through your will or trust is one of the most popular and flexible ways that you can show your support.
WILLS & BEQUESTS
- You leave a lasting legacy to be remembered
- You lessen the burden of taxes on your family
- You may receive estate tax savings
a bequest?
A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. With the help of an advisor, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift be made to family, friends or MICA as part of your estate plan.
A bequest can be made in several ways:
- You can gift a specific dollar amount or asset
- You can gift a percentage of your estate
- You can gift from the balance or residue of your estate
- You can make a beneficiary designation of certain assets
MICA cannot give you legal advice. Please contact your estate attorney.
“MICA has had a huge impact on my life—the foundation for my life as an artist, preparation for my career as a graphic designer, and friendships with many truly amazing and talented people. As a former classmate and one who is grateful for all that MICA has meant to me, I am proud to ask you to join me in making a legacy gift to help support MICA’s continued growth and improvement.”
— Bob Davis, ’62
“I am grateful to MICA for supporting my career in the arts and relieving my family and me from financial strain. I now realize how close I am to the goals I want to achieve. The generosity of MICA’s donors have inspired me to strive to enable others to achieve their dreams.”
