We offer a wide range of gifting options and vehicles that you can use to establish or add to a named charitable fund.

The pension Protection Act of 2006 included a charitable incentive allowing American seniors to make the gift of a lifetime—by giving their individual retirement accounts (IRAs) to charity, tax-free. People age 70 ½ and older can transfer up to $100,000 tax-free from an IRA. This opportunity has been extended to gifts made in 2011.
You can name the Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation as the owner and designated beneficiary or partial beneficiary of a life insurance policy. Your gift could reduce your estate and income taxes.
