Leave a Legacy Minnesota is a public awareness program sponsored by the Minnesota Gift Planning Association (MGPA) and the National Association of Charitable Gift Planners designed to inspire and educate people to think beyond their lifespan when doing good works.
Leave a Legacy Minnesota partners with all types of nonprofit groups, including social service and arts organizations, churches, hospitals and educational institutions. These partnerships help promote the message that people from all walks of life can make a large difference in their community through charitable bequests no matter how large or small. Imagine how much good could be done if each one of us remembered a favorite charity or cause in our will or estate plan? The impact for Minnesota would be immeasurable!
“It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” – Mother Teresa
Mission Statement
