Planned giving: It’s easy to donate a planned gift to the MPTF permanent endowment. Montana taxpayers who make a qualifying gift to the MPTF endowment may be able to take a 40 percent credit against their Montana income tax liability. Businesses can make an outright gift (as opposed to a planned gift) and may be eligible for a 20 percent credit on their Montana taxes.
The Montana Professional Teaching Foundation Golf Classic is happening on August 1st at Fairmont Hot Springs. This fun event raises important funds for our Montana Professional Teaching Foundation, which works to enhance the teaching profession and promote quality education in Montana.
Consider joining us in Fairmont this August or becoming a sponsor.

For more information on planned gifts, call Cathy Novak at the MPTF office at 406-447-1479.
