Planned Giving

With a charitable planned gift to MLRI, you will leave a legacy of support for the vital advocacy work we do. A planned gift will also welcome you into the MLRI Donor Circle, a critical group of donors who have honored MLRI and help us to fight for justice.

Examples of charitable planned gift arrangements include:

    • Bequests
    • Charitable remainder trusts
    • Charitable gift annuities
    • Gifts of life insurance
Cy Pres Awards

After the resolution of a consumer class action lawsuit, it is not uncommon for counsel to have difficulty locating class members, resulting in surplus money recovered from the defendant. A cy pres award may then be given to a non-profit organization that advances the goals of the underlying case, subject to certain rules. MLRI has been recommended and approved for several awards because our work often benefits the class and advances the public interest.
