Your legacy can be a powerful force for good, ensuring that vital support and research for neurofibromatosis and schwannomatosis continue for generations to come. By including NF Midwest in your estate plans, you help build a future where no one has to face NF alone.

A gift from the estate of Frances and Irma Napolilli in 2012 was transformative for our community. It allowed us to launch a scholarship program and our patient navigator program, directly improving the lives of countless individuals and families. Your planned gift can have a similar, lasting impact.

Ways to Leave a Legacy

There are several ways to make a planned gift, each with unique benefits for you and your family. We recommend discussing these options with your financial advisor or attorney to find the best fit for your goals.

Wills & Bequests

A simple and common way to leave a legacy is by designating a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder of your estate to NF Midwest in your will.

Life Insurance

You can name NF Midwest as the beneficiary of a new or existing life insurance policy. This is a straightforward way to make a significant future gift.

Appreciated Property

Donating assets like stocks, bonds, or real estate that have grown in value can be a tax-wise decision, as it may help you avoid capital gains taxes.

Charitable Trusts

Trusts, such as a Charitable Remainder Trust or a Charitable Lead Trust, can provide you or your heirs with an income stream while creating a future gift for our mission.

Retirement Plans

Naming NF Midwest as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other retirement plan is a simple, tax-efficient way to support our work. Learn more about how you can give from your IRA.
