IRA ROLLOVER
Why consider this gift?
With a gift transfer from your IRA you will pay no taxes on the gift, it will not be counted as income and can count against your required minimum distribution (RMD).
MT TAX CREDIT
Save up to $10,000 on your Montana taxes
The Montana Endowment Tax Credit allows credit against state income tax liability in the amount of 40% of the present value of any planned gift to a permanent endowment up to a maximum amount of $10,000 per year per taxpayer.
BEQUEST
Great way to make a revocable gift if your life circumstances change
