Give Later

You can make a gift through your will by naming the Winona Community Foundation as a beneficiary. You decide if it is a specific, a percentage, residual, or contingent amount. When you make a gift through your will, it has no immediate impact on your financial position, and you can change or modify it at any time. In addition, gifts to charity made through your will reduce the size of your estate. If you have a taxable estate, the charitable contribution may offset or eliminate estate taxes leaving more for your heirs.

Please let us know when you choose to make a gift to the Winona Community Foundation through your will. We would like to thank you and recognize you for this wonderful gift.
