Make a Plan to Support the Future of MMRI

The MMRI Cornerstone Society is an esteemed group of philanthropic leaders dedicated to innovation in medical research. Members of this elite society make the bold choice to give to MMRI through estate, financial plans or other deferred gift arrangements. Giving through MMRI’s Cornerstone Society often allows an individual to make an even greater impact than they ever thought possible.

Why join the elite society?
Thoughtful planned gifts such as a bequest in a will or trust, retirement plan named beneficiaries, charitable gift annuities and others, demonstrate an outstanding commitment on the part of our supporters to the future of our excellent scientific research. In addition, these gifts often provide significant tax advantages, while allowing MMRI to plan with confidence.
