There are many other things you can do to support migraine research:

Planned Giving

Leave a legacy, provide tax advantages and other financial benefits for you and your family, and help us continue building a future without migraine. Consult your financial advisor, estate planner, or attorney for information on these planned giving options:

• Bequests: Name MRF as a beneficiary in your will
• Life insurance: Designate MRF as a recipient of your life insurance policy
• Retirement plans: Donate all or part of an IRA and get a tax deduction while avoiding income tax on the gift. Donate all or part of your retirement fund and lower or eliminate its estate taxes.
• Charitable trusts: Give MRF the assets of an irrevocable trust while getting a tax deduction and receiving income for life or a lump sum payout for you or your designated beneficiary. There are several different types of charitable trusts. Please consult an advisor for the one that works best for you.

Donating to MRF through your will or trust provides a lasting legacy with long-term impact. Planned giving is your chance to make a contribution that ensures we’re able to continue building a future without migraine. Contact us for more information.
