As an independent, 501(c)3 educational institution, the Mackinac Center neither seeks nor accepts any government funding. Our work is funded through the annual, voluntary support of thousands of individuals and organizations who believe in free markets, limited government and self-reliance.

Legacy Society

Your estate plans represent more than years of hard work or accumulated assets, they also reflect the values which you hold dear in life and wish to perpetuate. The Legacy Society recognizes people who make any bequest to the Mackinac Center for Public Policy.

Benefits of the Legacy Society are the same as those of the 1851 Society. You will also have the satisfaction and peace of mind knowing that your estate will work for the betterment of all people and the perpetuation of a civil society.
