Bequests are planned gifts through which a donor can leave a gift to benefit Milford Schools Foundation in their will. You can arrange for a cash gift or assets or residual property. Bequests may be made for a specific amount, a percentage of your estate or even a portion of your estate. These planned giving options will help us continue our mission of enhancing and enriching the lives of Milford students, and the community at large.

Milford Schools Foundation has created verbiage for bequests and wills. In general, it should state:  “I hereby give, devise, and bequeath to Milford School Foundation, the sum of $_______.”

All donors are urged to seek the advice of a competent legal or tax professional as to the effects of their gift prior to entering into a Planned Gift Arrangement.  For more information on making a contribution, please contact Tim Ackermann, timackermann10@yahoo.com.

Thank you to all of our donors! Our work to help Milford students & teachers would noT be possible without your generosity.
