How to Designate Mission Graduates
- Request a beneficiary form from your retirement plan administrator, insurance company, or financial institution.
- Complete the form naming Mission Graduates as a beneficiary. You can designate us as the primary beneficiary for a percentage or specific amount, or as a contingent beneficiary to receive the balance if your primary beneficiary doesn’t survive you.
- Submit the form to your plan administrator or company.
- Let us know about your gift so we can properly recognize your generosity and ensure your wishes are understood.
