No decision is more personal than the disposition of your estate.  Gift planning can help you provide for loved ones, but also allows you to express your charitable intentions.

The MPTV Friends is pleased to offer you opportunities that help you, as well as Milwaukee Public Television.  It is our goal to make supporting MPTV as rewarding, and as simple, as possible.

There are many ways to give, and the most commonly utilized gifting vehicle is the bequest.

Many people don’t consider gift planning for they fear that don’t have a large enough estate.  Bequests of any size is appreciated by the MPTV Friends.  Whether you wish to donate your entire estate, a portion of your estate, a fixed dollar amount, or a percentage of your assets, bequests are easy to make.  If you already have an existing will, your attorney can help you add a new gift or change a provision by making a simple amendment (a codicil).

Types of Bequest and Sample Bequest Wording

Other ways to give include:

• Charitable Remainder Trust
  
• Retirement Plan Gift
  
• Gifts of Life Insurance
  
• Gift of Appreciated Securities
