Pledges

A pledge is a promise to donate a specific sum to the MSU Billings Foundation. You determine the amount, what area your gift supports, and fulfill the pledge later, either with one payment or with multiple payments at a frequency you choose. The Foundation will send a pledge reminder each time a payment is due.

To pledge, give online or call us at 406-657-2244.

To learn more about where to direct your pledge, contact Krista Montague.

Create a Legacy

Planned giving allows philanthropic individuals to make a significant charitable gift during a donor’s life or at death as part of their financial and/or estate plan. Giving in this way is easy to do and may offer additional benefits such as tax savings.

Learn more about planned giving and other ways to give, or contact Jeff Clarke.

Montana Charitable Endowment Tax Credit

The Montana Charitable Endowment Tax Credit (MCETC) is a credit against state income tax liability in the amount of 40% of the present value of any planned gift to a permanent endowment of a Montana charity up to a maximum amount of $10,000 per year per individual taxpayer. (Applies to individual or business entity taxpayers.)

The MCETC is also available to businesses as a credit against state income tax liability in the amount of 20% of the present value of an outright gift by a business entity to a permanent endowment of a Montana charity up to a maximum of $10,000 per year per taxpayer. (Applies to corporations, small business corporations, partnerships, or limited liability company taxpayers.)
