We envision a community where quality, nutritious food is available for all.

You can support this vision with a planned gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime.

What is Planned Giving?

Planned gifts demonstrate a donor’s desire to make a gift that exceeds their typical level of support and benefits the mission beyond their lifetime. These gifts may come in many forms and are part of your larger financial or estate planning activities.

Planned Giving Resources

  • Planned gifts come in many types. Learn more and talk to your advisor about the best option for you.

  • People have many motivations for choosing to make a planned gift. Here we describe just a few.

  • As a vital partner in our work, we encourage you to use these tools as you assist your clients.

I am honored to have been part of this incredible organization, which impacts our community in such a meaningful way, for over a decade. I cannot think of a more meaningful way for my family to support MCHPP long into the future.
