Planned Giving

Bequests
A gift of cash or property made through a will or living trust continues your tradition of giving.

Charitable Remainder Trusts
By placing assets in a charitable trust, you or your designated beneficiary can enjoy lifetime income from the trust and tax benefits at the same time. Upon termination of the trust the remainder goes to FVLT.

Charitable Gift Annuities
In exchange for a gift of cash, marketable securities or--in some cases--real estate, the Land Trust will contractually guarantee to pay you and/or your beneficiary a specified annuity. The annuity can be immediate or deferred and can provide substantial income and estate tax benefits. 

Charitable Lead Trusts
A charitable lead trust provides for a gift of an income interest to FVLT from property placed in the trust for a term of years, after which the property reverts to you or a non-charitable beneficiary you designate. 

Retained Life Estate
While giving your home or farm to the Land Trust, you may continue to live in the residence throughout your lifetime or for an agreed-upon time

Life Insurance
With the Land Trust named owner and beneficiary of a paid-up insurance policy, FVLT gains support and you receive a charitable deduction.
