Monthly Giving Program
Giving monthly to Special Olympics Montana (SOMT) is simple and rewarding. The Monthly Giving Club is a group of committed donors who, through their regular monthly gifts, help support over 2,300 athletes with intellectual disabilities as they enjoy the life-changing benefits of participating with SOMT.
- Making an impact – Know you are helping over 2,300 athletes with intellectual disabilities with your monthly gift.
- Increased worth of gift and convenience – Automatic transfers decrease administrative costs for SOMT, so more of your gift goes directly to supporting athletes.

Estate & Planned Giving
Estate and planned giving can allow you to make a significant gift to Special Olympics Montana either during your lifetime or at your passing.
Planned gifts such as wills, life income gifts and life insurance provide opportunities for donors to contribute in ways that can be extremely powerful, and in ways that may not be possible for your current situation.
A properly designed estate plan, with the assistance of qualified legal and financial counsel, can not only allow you to provide for your family as you wish, and to support charitable organizations that you wish to support. It can also provide significant current and long term tax advantages.
Special Olympics Montana encourages you to make this type of philanthropic decision in consultation with your family and with your professional financial consultants and advisors, as well as with the Development Team at Special Olympics Montana. Wills and bequests, charitable trusts, including charitable remainder trusts and charitable gift annuities, living trusts, and life insurance are frequently used as vehicles for your charitable interests through estate planning.
Special Olympics Montana understands that a decision involving an estate plan must first involve what you wish to do for your family and heirs at a future date. While your charitable intentions should always be included within your estate planning, we urge you to work with your family and your financial and legal advisors in making these decisions.
