LEGACY SOCIETY AND LEADERSHIP CIRCLE: SPECIAL COMMUNITIES OF MPR MEMBERS

Minnesota Public Radio plays a large role in building community in Minnesota and beyond. Sometimes it’s in subtle ways, by providing daily doses of dependable, high-quality, shared experiences on the air through MPR News, Classical MPR and The Current®. Other times, MPR builds community in more publicly visible ways, as we see this month in MPR events like Rock the Garden at Walker Art Center, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir concert at Target Center and the final episodes of the spring season of Wits™ at the Fitzgerald Theater.

MPR listeners who give and become members form a community themselves. Thank you, members, for supporting public media. Within the community of MPR members are two other special groups: Legacy Society and Leadership Circle.

Legacy Society members are those who have decided to make a difference for future generations of public media audiences by including MPR in their estate plans

— through wills, revocable trusts, beneficiary designations

of retirement accounts or life insurance policies — or by establishing charitable gift annuities or charitable remainder trusts. Many people don’t realize that planned giving can be for people of all ages and incomes, that there are gift options that allow you to receive payments for life, or that many planned gifts can be set up easily and painlessly.

Leadership Circle members are a special group of donors who support MPR with an annual gift starting at $100 per month as sustainers, or $1,200 or more made as a single gift. Like the Legacy Society, Leadership Circle is a community of special friends who are making MPR a charitable priority. By increasing annual giving, Leadership Circle members make an investment that allows MPR to have a greater positive effect in the state and the rest of the nation through its work — more innovation, more world-class programming and a broader reach. Special benefits and engagement opportunities are available exclusively to Leadership Circle members at various levels.

*Note: MPR does not provide tax, financial, or legal advice. Please consult your personal tax, financial, or legal professional for advice regarding your specific situation. Charitable Gift Annuities can be established with a contribution of $10,000 or more. Illustrations are not advice and are for educational purposes only.

To learn more about the Legacy Society or

planned giving options, please contact Joe Thiegs

(651.290.1583 or jthiegs@mpr.org) or Paul Odegaard

(651.290.1129 or podegaard@mpr.org), or visit us

online at mpr.org/legacy.

To learn more about MPR’s Leadership Circle,

please contact Sara Johnson (651.290.1092 or

sjohnson@mpr.org). Thank you for your thoughtful

and generous support!

TURN YOUR USED VEHICLE INTO GREAT PROGRAMSDonating a vehicle to MPR is fast, easy and

secure. MPR accepts any vehicle — running or not — including cars, trucks, boats, RVs,

motorcycles and more. Your vehicle is towed free of charge, and your donation is eligible

for a tax deduction. The proceeds will support the news and music you and thousands of

Minnesotans rely on every day. Find out more online at mpr.org/vehicle or call

1-866-789-8627.

DONATE YOUR VEHICLE.

DOUBLE YOUR GIFTMany companies will match their employees’ charitable contributions through an Employer Matching Gift program. It’s a simple way for you to double or even triple your contribution to MPR. It’s quick, easy and makes a big difference. Find out more online at mpr.org/match or call 1-800-227-2811.
