Charitable Gift Planning
Charitable Planned Giving
Grateful listeners who include a legacy gift for Minnesota Public Radio in their estate plans contribute to MPR's permanent endowment. Income from this endowment provides the financial margin that supports programming as we strive to deliver the exceptional. Your foresight and planning will ensure that generations of MPR listeners will benefit from what has for decades been recognized as the best regional public radio service in the nation.

Remember Minnesota Public Radio in your will, estate plan, or beneficiary arrangement and join with others in the Colman Barry Legacy Circle. Members enjoy a special relationship with MPR, with each other, and with audiences of the future.

The Colman Barry Legacy Circle recently hosted an educational seminar for people who are in domestic partner relationships and can benefit from information about the challenges specific to their financial and estate planning concerns. Audio from the event is available online.

Individual financial circumstances vary. The information on this site does not constitute legal or tax advice. Because of the complexity of estate planning, it is important that your attorney structure your estate and draft your will or truts so as to best carry out your wishes. Minnesota Public Radio cannot act as executor of a donor's estate. Individual support guarantees that substance and values, not commercial considerations, govern our programming. Please include MPR in your will and provide a sound legacy to future generations.
