Planned Giving

Talk to Us

If you are advising a client who is considering a planned gift or bequest to one of the Memorial foundations, we welcome the opportunity to work with you in helping your client. Please use the below resources and tools and feel free to contact us any time for further information or assistance on a confidential basis.

Here is some basic information about our organizations:

Legal Name and Tax I.D. Number:

Decatur Memorial Foundation - 37-1169605
Jacksonville Memorial Foundation - 46-1037396
Lincoln Memorial Foundation - 36-3492268
Springfield Memorial Foundation - 37-1110301

Consistent with safeguarding its own interests, Memorial tries to make arranging a gift for one of the different foundations as easy as possible, and we strive to honor the intentions of all our donors. Accordingly, we hope the following bequest language will prove helpful:

If one of your clients arranges an estate gift for the benefit of one of the Memorial foundations, we would very much appreciate knowing about the gift, both so we can express our sincere gratitude and – as noted above – so we can make sure we will be able to fulfill the donor’s wishes.

Of course, we respect the fact that in some cases donors prefer to remain anonymous. If you are willing to serve as an intermediary, a client of yours can share information about his or her plans without divulging his or her identity.

Finally, we want to be of assistance to you in any way we can, whether you are simply looking for general information about charitable giving, considering particular options on behalf of a particular client, or needing our cooperation in the administration of a bequest or other type of planned gift.

Thank you for the work you do on behalf of our donors!
