Anpetu Waste Mitakuyepi,
Greetings Relatives! Thank you for your interest in learning more about making a planned gift in support of Native students. There is no greater legacy you can leave than helping lift Native people and communities through education, and by doing so we come together in our shared vision for what life for Native people could and should be.
When we are able to live our best lives while being seen by others and supported in embracing our culture and traditions, we make better choices, are better able to provide for our families and we lift those around us. This is a great vision and legacy, and one I have been working my whole life to create. I would be honored to have you join me in both the vision and the creation of this legacy.
As you consider your estate plans, please know that your gift is truly transformative - it will change the lives of countless Native students, their families, and our communities for generations to come.
Wopila,
Thank you
Cheryl Crazy Bull
President and CEO
DISCOVER WAYS TO GIFT
We have one unwavering purpose - increasing the number of American Indians who hold college degrees. Currently, only 15% of American Indians have a college degree - less than half the national average. There are many ways to structure your legacy giving and secure the educational future for generations of Native students. Let us help find the one that best fits you.-
Make a Bequest
A simple, flexible, and incredibly impactful way to make a planned gift is to include bequest language in your will, trust or beneficiary designation form. Simply add special language to your estate plan with the help of an advisor. Learn more and see sample bequest language here.

Charitable Remainder Unitrust
Setting up your planned gift while also retaining benefits from your investment can be accomplished by funding a charitable reminder unitrust. After you have transferred cash or appreciated property to fund a charitable remainder unitrust, the trust will sell your property tax-free and provide you with income for life or a term of years.
