Contact our giving teamWhen you remember the Quivira Coalition in your estate plan, you become a Resiliency Partner, creating a legacy in the radical center by joining other like-minded supporters to help safeguard Quivira’s work into the future.
A legacy gift made through your will or revocable trust, or by naming Quivira as a beneficiary of your retirement plan or life insurance, may be the most impactful donation you’ve ever given! Gifts to charitable organizations are excluded from estate tax.
Quivira is my go-to source for innovative thinking about land use, rural communities, regenerative agriculture and succession planning. Over many years, ideas from Quivira workshops and conferences, and conversations with other Quivira members, have provided invaluable support and inspiration for me and my family in the management and long-term planning of our ranch.
A planned gift doesn't need to come from a large estate.
Here are some other options.“. . . our dependence on the earth’s generosity is not a day-to-day job for most of us, but we depend on the health of the land for our survival and count on those who steward the landscape. Quivira is helping to ensure the health and future of pastoral life and the human community that cares for the land. We depend on them to sustain those who sustain our working lands.”
Quivira is committed to restoring and preserving land health and agrarian ways of life far into the future! Contributing to this work will become a part of your legacy. Please consult your tax advisor today for more information on the benefits to you of bequests and other forms of planned giving, included those we list here.
