Benefits For Family and Montana State University
Billings Foundation

Not all gift plans are suited for every donor; many factors enter into the choice of a planned gift, and donors should consult with their financial advisors as to the suitability of a gift in their situation.  We would be pleased to provide illustrations for you and your advisors to consider.  Please phone us at 406-657-2244 or 888-430-6782 to receive a confidential proposal.

Through use of these plans, donors have received wonderful benefits such as increased income, safety, and generous tax savings.  With the Montana Tax Credit--a direct reduction of Montana taxes owed if you are a Montana taxpayer--your "gift cost" may be reduced substantially.

Please begin by meeting these friends who have "planned" their gifts to receive the benefits and to favor MSU Billings and its students. Just click on the picture and you can view each story.
