Creating a Legacy

Please consider making a legacy gift to The Mustique Charitable Foundation. For many of us, Mustique has been an important part of our lives. A legacy gift is a lasting tribute to the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines who granted us the opportunity to create this unique community and whose citizens help make it possible.

Your legacy can take the form of a bequest to MCF in your will or trust or you can name MCF as a beneficiary of your IRA or life insurance policy.

There are several benefits to leaving assets to MCF:

  • Your commitment today costs you nothing during your lifetime.

  • Other heirs of your estate will not be taxed on the portion that MCF receives when the bequest is realized.

  • Your estate may benefit from a charitable deduction.

  • You will leave a powerful legacy to the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and inspire others who share a commitment to MCF.

Bequests can be made with cash, securities, real estate, or other property.  You may designate a specific dollar amount, a particular asset, a fixed percentage of your entire estate, or leave your residuary estate after you have provided for loved ones. 

Endowed Giving

What are endowed gifts?

Donors who choose to make endowed gifts can direct their support toward a specific purpose that matches their personal interests with the mission of Mustique Charitable Foundation to help those Vincentians who are in need. Such purposes include scholarships and healthcare initiatives. Endowed gifts may also lead to recognition opportunities, which honor or memorialize a person of the donor’s choosing. Endowed gifts fall into the following categories:

Endowment Gifts

Gifts toward endowment are put in an independent fund, and the income from the gift is directed toward a purpose selected by the donor. Only the income from the principal is expended in accordance with Mustique Charitable Foundation’s spending rule in effect from time to time, so that the gift continues in perpetuity, helping to safeguard achievement of Mustique Charitable Foundation’s mission against changing economic climates. Endowment opportunities include scholarships and healthcare initiatives. The minimum endowment gift is $100,000.

Restricted current use gifts

Restricted current use funds are directed toward a purpose designated by the donor consistent with Mustique Charitable Foundation’s mission, such as scholarships. The principal of a current use gift is depleted over a specified term.
