Letter of Intent Form

Many donors choose to leave gifts to charity in their will called "planned giving." This allows donors to invest in the future of the community they love, and the Community Foundation for Mississippi is uniquely positioned to help charitably minded people to give to all of the charitable entities they are passionate about.

This Letter of Intent will allow you to simplify your planned gift. All you have to do is provide the sample gift bequest language below (see "purpose of Gift" and "nature of My Bequest" sections below) to your attorney or professional advisor when planning to include a gift in your will or estate plan for the Community Foundation for Mississippi. Then notify us so that we can ensure your gift will benefit the causes you care about most and in the way you intend. We are happy to work directly with your professional advisors throughout this process if you desire. To the extent that your bequest consists of assets includible in your gross estate, the value of your bequest will qualify as a charitable deduction to the extent allowed by law.
