Leave a Legacy
Ask Us How
Looking to create or expand your charitable giving legacy? The key is learning more about you and your desire to help others, so we can make simple recommendations that you and your financial planners may find beneficial. A discussion over the phone is a start, but an in-person visit would allow us to fully understand what you’d like to achieve with your giving. We invite you to schedule a time to stop by our office, or to have us come to you! Please contact NDCF Regional Director - John Heinen, at (701)590-4614 or by email at John@NDCF.net.
We are here to answer broader questions about options for setting up charitable gifts for immediate giving or with a will, trust, or generally in an estate. Various options have varying tax benefits that should be considered.
Giving Impact Beyond a Lifetime
Will or trust Beneficiary Designations are a great option to help create a legacy. They are simple yet impactful and can be worded to ensure loved ones are taken care of along with your favorite charities.
