Planned Giving is a contribution that is arranged in the present and allocated at a future date, commonly through a will or trust once the donor has passed away. Please consider investing in the future of Curt's Cafe by including us in your will or estate plan. Through planned gifts, you create win-win solutions for you and Curt's Cafe.

70% of planned gifts are Bequests—gifts that are given through wills. They are the simplest and most common type of estate-planning gift. Your bequest also gives you the opportunity to create a lasting expression of your legacy.

A bequest can appear in your original will or in a codicil, and is revocable should you change your mind. Making a bequest is as easy as adding this suggested language to your will:

I/we give and bequeath to Curt's Cafe the sum of $____ (or ____% of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate) for the general purposes of supporting Curt's Cafe.

If you have already included Curt's Cafe in your estate plans please download and fill out the attached form so that we may thank you and acknowledge your generosity.

Matching gifts are donations from corporations or businesses that match charitable gifts from employees at a specific ratio set by the employer, the most common being 1:1. Contact your Human Resources Department to learn more about their matching gift program. If available, they will provide you with the necessary forms to be completed and submitted along with your gift. One-time gifts, gifts of securities, and tributes and special gifts are all eligible for matching funds from employers.
