Estate gifts to OMC Regional Foundation may be easily and confidentially arranged through a codicil, which is an amendment to an existing will.

To make a general, unrestricted bequest, your will or codicil might state: "I give and bequeath to OMC Regional Foundation, in Rochester, MN, a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code, the sum of $______ for its general uses and purposes."

Bequests may also be stated as a residual percentage of the estate after other obligations are met, and they can be directed to specific programs and purposes.

Appreciated stock that has been held for at least one year is one of the most popular assets used for charitable giving. A gift of appreciated stock is mutually beneficial, because you help OMC and realize financial benefits for yourself as well.
