Planning for the future of your estate can include protection of the most lasting of all amenities -- land. In addition to taking care of those you love, your heritage can help enhance the quality of life that future generations will enjoy.
Planned Gift Donations
When you name the Greenbelt Land Trust in you will, you are making a permanent gift to protect land. Your gift will be used towards the purchase of open space and natural areas which will preserve the character, diversity and beauty unique to our landscape. Your will is an opportunity for you to ensure that the things you believe in and worked towards in your lifetime will be realized—even after you are gone.
When you sit down to draw up your will or living trust with your attorney, the Greenbelt should be designated as: Greenbelt Land Trust, Inc., with the business address as PO Box 1721, Corvallis, OR 97339. The Greenbelt’s taxpayer identification number is: 94-3113836.
We suggest that you specify that your bequest be: “used in such a manner as the Board of Directors of the Greenbelt Land Trust shall, in its discretion, determine.” However, if you wish your bequest to go towards a specific program area or project, we would work with you to accomplish your wishes.
We appreciate you considering making a bequest donation to the Greenbelt. Your bequest can be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or even a particular asset or group of assets. Bequests will be distributed after all debts, taxes and expenses of your estate have been paid.
Should you decide to make the Greenbelt Land Trust a beneficiary of your will or living trust, it would be helpful for us to know your intentions. If you would like, we would be interested in receiving the relevant portion of your will or living trust so we may work with your attorney to ensure a timely execution of your wishes. This information will, of course, be kept strictly confidential.
Since individual situations vary, and rules governing deductions for charitable contributions are complex, your gift should be reviewed by your legal or financial advisor to assure the most favorable alterantive available to you. However, we can provide some general guidance to enable your estate to benefit the Greenbelt Land Trust through a variety of options.
If you have questions or wish to receive further details regarding our goals or any of the options available to you, please contact us.
