A gift in your will costs you nothing today — and carries the work on past your own lifetime.
Nobody built the case for liberty in Mississippi in a single season. It was done over lifetimes — by people who understood they were planting trees whose shade they would never sit in.
A gift in your will is how many of our supporters end up making the largest gift of their lives to the cause. It touches nothing you live on now. You can change your mind at any time. And you can leave a fixed sum, a share of your estate, or simply what remains once your family is provided for.
The simplest route. Your attorney adds a sentence or two naming MCPP — a set amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after your family is looked after. Write to Douglas and he will give your attorney the wording they need.
You can name MCPP as a beneficiary of an IRA, 401(k) or life insurance policy simply by completing a form from your provider. It is often the most tax-efficient gift available: your heirs would owe income tax on an inherited retirement account, whereas a charity pays none.
You can give directly from your IRA to MCPP — up to $111,000 per person in 2026, a figure the IRS adjusts each year. The funds must pass directly from your custodian to us. Because it is excluded from your income rather than claimed as a deduction, it works even if you do not itemize — and once you reach RMD age it can count toward your required minimum distribution.
Giving stock you have held more than a year lets you deduct its full market value and avoid the capital-gains tax you would owe had you sold it first.
If you are thinking about it, I would welcome the conversation personally — write to me at carswell@mspolicy.org or call 601.969.1300. We are always glad to work alongside your attorney.
If you have already included MCPP, please tell me. There is no form and nothing binding; I would simply like to thank you properly, and make sure your intentions are understood.
