- Access FreeWill, a free online estate planning tool. Grow your legacy for causes you care about.
- Leave a bequest to The Food Group in your personal Will or trust. Here is sample legal language: [“I ________ give to The Food Group Minnesota, 8501 54th Avenue North, New Hope, MN, 55428 EIN #41-1246504, _____ percent of my estate, or the sum of _____ dollars, or the remainder of my estate.”]
- Make The Food Group a beneficiary of a brokerage account, IRA account, 401(k), insurance policy, or annuity. You can simply add “The Food Group Minnesota” as a beneficiary to your account or complete this form from our partners at FreeWill to designate The Food Group as a beneficiary of your non-probate asset.
We would appreciate hearing from you if you are planning to make a legacy gift to The Food Group. If you’ve already planned your gift for The Food Group and would like to inform us, please complete this form.
