How Can I Support Father Fred’s Work Beyond My Lifetime?

Call Martie Manty at the Father Fred Foundation at 231-947-2055 ext 17 for a confidential conversation to explore this subject.

Not long ago The Foundation received notice it will receive an estate gift in the approximate amount of $210,000! It was a “Father Fred Moment” because the Board needed extra dollars this year to fund a record number of utility shut off requests. This gift follows in Father Fred’s footsteps. He directed his estate to go to The Foundation when he passed in 2000.

Your estate plan is your final statement of your life’s work. A bequest to The Father Fred Foundation through your will or living trust makes a statement about your lifelong priorities. It is also an opportunity to memorialize yourself and others.

To make your gift, please call us at 231.947.2055.
