Planned Giving: Leave a Lasting Gift

default

Your Legacy Starts Here

A planned gift is a meaningful way to support the New York Mills Regional Cultural Center (legal name: New York Mills Arts Retreat) for generations to come—while costing you nothing today.

By including the Cultural Center in your estate plans, you help ensure that arts, culture, and creativity remain accessible in our rural community for years to come.


Ways to Give

You can include the Cultural Center in your:

  • Will or living trust
  • Retirement account (IRA, 401(k), etc.)
  • Life insurance policy
  • Beneficiary designations
  • Other estate plans

There is no minimum gift amount, and you can update your plans at any time.


Sample Bequest Language

If you are working with an attorney, you can use or adapt the following language:

“I give to the New York Mills Arts Retreat, a nonprofit organization located in New York Mills, Minnesota, EIN 41-1690163, the sum of $_____ (or ____% of my estate, or the residue of my estate) to be used for its general charitable purposes.”

This language is provided as a guide and can be tailored to fit your wishes.


Why It Matters

Your legacy gift helps:

  • Sustain access to arts and cultural programming
  • Support future generations of artists and learners
  • Strengthen community vitality in rural Minnesota

Every gift—no matter the size—makes a lasting difference.


Support the Future: Our Capital Campaign

As part of our Cultivating Community Capital Campaign, we are investing in the future of the New York Mills Regional Cultural Center — strengthening our building, expanding opportunities, and ensuring long-term sustainability.

A planned gift is a powerful way to be part of that future.

By including the Cultural Center in your estate plans, you help:

  • Sustain the impact of today’s campaign for generations to come
  • Support ongoing programming, care of our facility, and future growth
  • Create a lasting legacy that reflects your values and commitment to rural vitality

Planned gifts can be designated to support the Cultural Center’s long-term sustainability or applied to areas that matter most to you.

If you are considering a legacy gift as part of the campaign, we welcome the opportunity to talk with you.
