Dear Friend,
Welcome to our first Planned Giving Enewsletter! We hope to connect with you in this way a few times during the year and that you will find this information helpful. In my over forty years at Mahpiya Luta | Red Cloud, I have seen the tremendous strides that have been made here. In the midst of the poverty that surrounds us, we are succeeding in lifting the horizon of hope for hundreds of children with almost all of our graduates enrolling in post high school education. Planned Gifts play a critical role in keeping our doors open; they transform the lives of our students. Making a planned gift is a way for you to leave a legacy of hope that will impact generations. The majority of our estate gifts come from hardworking and caring friends who remember us in their Will, giving in a way that they were not able to do during their lifetime. Here are some ways for you to leave a legacy of hope:
In your Will or Trust. Here is some suggested language:
1. An outright gift of a specific sum of money: I give to Red Cloud Indian School the sum of $_____.
2. Outright gift of a share of your residuary estate (what is left after payment of all debts, expenses and other legacies): I give, bequeath and devise to Red Cloud Indian School all (or ___%) of the rest, residue
and remainder of my estate.
IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution: If you are 70 1/2 or older you may be able to take advantage of your IRA to
make a tax-smart gift by directing that your IRA Administrator to make a distribution directly to us. Benefits to you may include lowering your taxable income, counting the distribution toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and helping children and families.
A Gift of Stock: By making a gift of appreciated stock, or mutual funds, you may be able to take a charitable deduction for the fair market value and avoid capital gains.
A Charitable Gift Annuity: A Mahpiya Luta|Red Cloud Charitable Gift Annuity is one more way for you to leave a legacy of hope supplementing your income with guaranteed payments for your lifetime and save taxes.

Thank you for all you do for Mahpiya Luta | Red Cloud! May God bless you, Fr. Peter Klink, SJ President Emeritus
