About Legacy Giving

Missouri is a natural wonder woven from expansive forests, rich biodiversity, mighty rivers, abundant springs, sweeping prairies and hidden caves. Protecting this nature is a legacy we build together. A quick 15-minute call with your financial advisor is all it takes to add the Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation as a beneficiary to your will, trust, life insurance, retirement plan, IRA or Donor-Advised Fund (DAF). Legacy giving provides peace of mind for donors; it doesn’t impact your current finances and gives you the flexibility to make changes anytime.
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 you can support clean water, healthy habitats and abundant wildlife for now and in the future.

Whatever your stage in life, legacy giving can benefit you and your loved ones while helping protect the outdoors and Missouri’s natural environments for generations to come. Some planned gifts have an impact now, some after your lifetime and many offer tax savings. Explore your options below, talk with your financial advisor and give us a call. We will help preserve your legacy. It’s never too early to plan for the future!
