Thank You to Companies Investing in Conservation
MCHF is grateful to the following businesses for their support of the Corporate Sponsorship Program.
Learn more about the Corporate Sponsorship program below.
Did you know? MCHF’s administrative and fundraising rate (AFR) number is 10%, well below the average! This means MCHF only utilizes 10% of funds raised to pay for overhead, administrative costs, etc. The typical standards are recommended to go no higher than 25-50%. Fiscal responsibility is extremely important and MCHF truly puts as much donor and partner dollars raised toward conservation and outdoors-related programs and projects!
Create Your Own Legacy for the Outdoors
There are a variety of ways to leave your own mark and create a conservation legacy through the Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation. Explore a few examples below, and know that you can always reach out to us directly to customize the right fit for your specific wishes.
Donate Today
Looking to leave your mark today on conservation efforts in Missouri and beyond? Contribute toward our mission and create your own conservation legacy.
Planned Giving
Planned giving is a wonderful way to leave behind a legacy for the future of our natural environments, habitats, resources and wildlife. The benefits of planned giving are immediate and far-reaching. You have control over what and how much you decide to leave and will have peace of mind knowing what financial matters are taken care of.
Anyone can give a gift for the future. Planned gifts are generally funded from accumulated resources or assets, rather than income. In fact, planned giving does not require significant financial resources. It’s a commitment to give over time, not by the gift amount. Gifts in your will or trust, also called bequests, don’t affect your everyday cash flow. This makes planned gifts simple and impactful for years to come.
A planned gift in support of the natural world affirms your conservation vision for the future.
Become a part of the MCHF Conservation Legacy Society and leave your mark on the future with a gift that lasts longer. Contact us to learn how to establish a legacy that can make can support clean water, healthy habitats and plentiful wildlife for now and in the future.
If you have questions or would like to learn more, please contact Andrea Smith at andrea.smith@mochf.org or 417.310.2705. We look forward to helping you customize and simplify your charitable giving!
