THE
ENDOWMENT
The game stops when the whistle blows.
The impact shouldn't.
The Midwest Rugby Development Foundation Endowment is more than a fund; it is a promise to the future. It is a permanent, self-sustaining financial bedrock designed to weather economic storms and provide consistent support for the sport we love, forever.
Assets contributed to the endowment are invested prudently. The principal remains intact, while the investment income is used to fund facility grants, safety equipment, referee development, and youth programs. When you give to the endowment, you aren't just giving for today—you are ensuring the scrum sets for the next 50 years.
WAYS TO GIVE
Building a legacy requires more than just cash. We offer tax-advantaged ways to contribute to the Endowment, allowing you to maximize your impact while minimizing your tax burden.
Appreciated Securities
Donate stocks, bonds, or mutual funds that have increased in value. You avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation, and you can deduct the full fair market value of the asset from your taxes. It’s a smart way to give more at a lower cost to you.
Start the ProcessReal Estate
Unlock the value of unencumbered property. By donating real estate to the Foundation, you can claim an income tax deduction for the property's full fair market value, eliminate maintenance costs, and avoid capital gains taxes on the sale.
Discuss PropertyLife Insurance
A simple way to make a significant gift. You can name the Midwest Rugby Development Foundation as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. This allows you to leave a substantial legacy without affecting your current financial liquidity.
