Legacy Campaign: Planned Giving

Planned Giving

There are several ways to make a lasting contribution toward the BlueRibbon Coalition's efforts in "Preserving Our Natural Resources FOR the Public instead of FROM the Public." Below is a summary of some of the ways you can help. We welcome the opportunity to discuss these options with you. Personal discussions incur no obligation on your part, and of course, all information discussed will remain confidential. If you are interested in providing for the BRC through planned giving, please contact Mary Jo Foster at 1-800-258-3742, Ext. 105.

A Gift Through Your Will

One of the simplest ways to make a gift to the BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC) is through your will. Bequests can take the form of cash or trusts, houses, land, vehicles, jewelry, securities, and life insurance. You may designate the BRC as a direct beneficiary to receive: all or a portion of your estate. Bequests are free from federal estate tax, offering potential estate tax savings.

The following language can be used to provide for the BRC in your will or trust:

"I hereby give and bequeath ______ to the BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC), a nonprofit organization incorporated by the laws of the State of Idaho, having as its principal address 4555 Burley Dr. Ste A, Pocatello, Idaho, 83202-1921, Tax ID 82-0413981, to be used in its access protection efforts."

Gift of Securities

You can donate securities to the BRC. This will help save on capital gains taxes on appreciated investments and provide a charitable income tax deduction.

Life Insurance Gifts

Giving a life insurance policy is a way to donate a large sum at relatively little cost to you. You can donate an existing policy that no longer is necessary for your family's financial security. This will make future premiums on the policy tax-deductible.

Please Note

The BlueRibbon Coalition is in the business of preserving your access to our public lands, not providing financial or legal advice. We recommend that you contact your attorney or financial advisor when considering such donations. The BlueRibbon Coalition cannot serve as an executor of a donor's estate.
