Woods & Waters Legacy Guild
There is no shortage of plans to be made in day-to-day living.
Here’s one that may be on your mind as you consider making your most important arrangements:
What organization is benefiting from your legacy?
Legacy giving, or planned giving, allows you to arrange a contribution to a nonprofit that will be transferred at a later date. Your will or trust is an important way to ensure the people, places and things that mean the most to you are cared for after your passing. Your dedication to this community is among them. By naming Woods and Waters Land Trust as a beneficiary, your desire to help conserve all that you love about the Lower Kentucky River Watershed lives on. This gift may come in the form of land, investments or insurance, as well as a percentage of or fixed amount from your estate.
Legacy giving is a meaningful act for community members of all financial circumstances. For Woods and Waters Land Trust supporters who don’t have the flexibility to make a significant financial contribution during their lifetime, a planned gift is an opportunity to leave behind a legacy of support.
In addition to helping protect and connect the land and waterways of the Lower Kentucky River Watershed, your legacy gift to Woods and Waters Land Trust qualifies for a range of tax benefits. Upon making these planned-giving arrangements, you also become a member of the Woods and Waters Legacy Guild, established to support the organization’s vital conservation work for perpetuity.
Estate planning is a personal and sometimes complicated process. Woods and Waters Land Trust wants to help make your planned-giving decisions as simple as possible. As you consider your legacy gift, please consult with us and your professional advisors. We want to ensure we can fulfill your charitable intentions and, of course, to thank you. These discussions are kept strictly confidential, unless you state otherwise.
To encourage legacy giving, each person who certifies that they’ve included Woods and Waters Land Trust in their will have a $500 gift made to the organization in their name from the Kay Harker Legacy Fund.
