Prairie Postings “We are all good at squandering money. Wasting money happens in spite of good intentions. I’ve been blessed with having everything I want and need. I don’t need any more stuff! The more material things that collect around me, the more suffocated I feel. It actually limits my sense of freedom and peace. What’s most precious to me is keeping the Earth intact and preserving our flora and fauna. Now that’s a cause worthy of every dollar left at the end of my life. —Missouri Prairie Foundation (MPF) member Leslie Limberg, who has established a charitable remainder trust to benefit MPF. Lee Phillion Planned Giving for Prairies Your annual membership and other gifts to the Missouri Prairie Foundation (MPF) are vital to our ongoing prairie conservation work. By establishing a planned gift to MPF, you can also ensure that we can continue our work well into the future. Below are several ways to make a planned gift to MPF: • Create a charitable remainder trust. By establishing a charitable remainder trust, you will receive fixed payments for the rest of your life and have a charitable deduction. Charitable remainder trusts offer payment rates that are more attractive than many other investments, with the rate amount determined by your age. In addition, you have the satisfaction of knowing that the remainder of your gift will benefit MPF. • Give appreciated stock or bonds held for more than one year. You will provide a larger gift to MPF—and avoid capital gains liability. • Put a bequest in your will or trust (cash, specific property, or a share of the residual estate). You will make a gift for MPF’s future that doesn’t affect your cash flow or portfolio now, but will provide an eventual estate tax deduction. Those wishing to make a bequest to MPF may find the suggested wording helpful: I bequeath ___% of my residuary estate (or $___) to the Missouri Prairie Foundation, a not-for-profit conservation organization, with its address at P.O. Box 200, Columbia, MO 65205 for its ongoing programs in prairie acquisitions, stewardship, and education. For more information contact the Missouri Prairie Foundation, P.O. Box 200, Columbia, MO 65205, by toll-free phone: 1-888-843-6739, or email at info@moprairie.com.
