The DMP Staff and Board of Directors have expressed a desire to diversify giving opportunities to ensure a bright future for Downtown Missoula and sustainability for the Foundation. Therefore, the Missoula Downtown Foundation offers planned giving options for individuals and estates. Learn more about these options below and which funds you can donate to to promote the enhancement of Downtown Missoula, now and for future generations.

Planned giving is the process of making a significant charitable gift during a donor’s life or at death that is part of his or her financial or estate plan. Planned giving uses estate and tax planning to provide for charity and heirs in ways that maximize the gift and/or minimize its impact on the donor’s estate.
