Dear John,
It's almost 2020! And, just in time, our newest initiative (True North Legal) is off to the races with an amicus curiae brief filed at the Supreme Court of the United States! Can I ask you, in the waning hours of this year, to give towards our BIG 2020 goals? We are ready to hit the ground running - with your support, this will be a huge year for Minnesota Family Council & Institute. But what we can accomplish together for your family and your values depends on YOUR generosity! Please give now or by midnight tomorrow!

So, let's talk about True North Legal. Remember that TNL is our new legal initiative. With your support, we've been busy fighting for life, family, and religious freedom in the legislature, the public sphere, and now in the courts. The June Medical Services v. Gee case, which the Supreme Court announced just today that they will hear in 2020, is the first abortion-related case to reach the high court in several years, and it could have huge implications for the regulation of abortion facilities, which are often unsafe places for women - and always unsafe places for babies.
By getting involved in this case, we're making a statement that the lives of women and unborn Minnesotans have value, and that we will fight at every level to make sure they ARE valued! Will you join us? Just a few more hours to give for a 2019 deduction!
Finally, if you have already given online, remember that there are other ways to give.
BY CHECK - You can mail your gift to: Minnesota Family Institute, 2855 Anthony Lane South #150, Minneapolis, MN 55418. Remember, your gift must be postmarked by December 31st to qualify for tax deduction in 2019.
STOCK GIFTS - You can support us through a gift of stock. Please contact Cheryl at [email protected] or 612-789-8811 ext 202, or John at [email protected] or 612-789-8811 ext 224 if we can assist you with a gift of stock or answer any questions you may have.
PLANNED GIVING - If you are over 70 1/2 years of age, consider giving directly through your IRA. If you must take a Required Minimum Distribution from your retirement account (other than an ongoing SEP or SIMPLE IRA), you may avoid a taxable event by giving directly to Minnesota Family Institute through a Qualified Charitable Distribution. Contact Cheryl at chery[email protected] or 612-789-8811 ext 202, or John at [email protected] or 612-789-8811 ext 224.
LEGACY GIVING - Invest in your lasting legacy by including a generous gift to Minnesota Family Institute in your estate planning or will. Your gift will help us fight to preserve family, faith and freedom for future generations.
P.S. Mark your calendars now for our 2020 Annual Gala Dinner on May 11th, with keynote speaker Abby Johnson, the former Planned Parenthood director turned pro-life activist whose story of transformation inspired the hit movie Unplanned. Registration is now open - click here to register!
