Secure your own familyâs assets while ensuring the continuation of our work for Yellowstone National Park by making a planned gift to Yellowstone Forever. A planned gift is a simple and flexible way to meet your estate and financial goals while providing an ongoing commitment to Yellowstone for generations to come.
Including Yellowstone Forever is your will or living trust, you can make a lasting impact on Yellowstone without affecting your income during your lifetime. You have the option to leave a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remaining balance after other beneficiaries have received their distributions.
An alternative to a bequest gift is to designate Yellowstone Forever as the beneficiary of your retirement assets. This method is as simple as filling out a new beneficiary form from your retirement plan administrator. Gifts from your IRA 401(k) or other financial accounts can be gifted. Yellowstone Forever will receive the assets tax-free and you are still able to withdraw from your account and modify beneficiaries if the needs of your family change during your lifetime.
To use your life insurance policy to make a gift, complete and return to the insurance company a form designating that Yellowstone Forever receives all or a portion of the benefit associated with your life insurance policy. You may also transfer ownership of the policy, which will result in an immediate income tax charitable deduction and potential tax savings in the year you make the gift.
You can direct your investment company to transfer to Yellowstone Forever some or all investments held in your account. Please check with your broker or agent to find out more about the process of doing this.
âWe first visited Yellowstone in the early 1980s and fell in love with the park. The scenery was incredible, and both being animal lovers and avid amateur photographers, we were in our element⌠After much thought, we felt that by setting up an endowment with Yellowstone Forever and naming the organization as a beneficiary to help fund needs of the park would be the best way for us to help.â – Beth & Mike King, North Carolina
