How Will Your Gift Be Used? How Will Your Membership Gift Be Used? Your membership gift goes immediately to work conserving wilderness and helping to make a difference with current stewardship events. How Will Your Bequest Be Invested for the Future? Generally, unless you ask us in writing to do something different, bequests to Friends of Nevada Wilderness will be used to protect wilderness in Nevada and will be placed in the Forever Wild Fund. This fund, as well as others, is explained below. Forever Wild Fund The Forever Wild Fun d is an operating reserve fund which the Friends of Nevada Wilderness Board of Directors may authorize use from time to time, without repayment, to launch new programs or take advantage of time sensitive wilderness protection opportunities. Your gifts will be used to provide long-term protection for our Wild Nevada heritage and help connect people who care with healing these wild places from illegal vehicle use, unneeded manmade structures, invasive weeds, etc. Gifts for the Forever Wild Fund permit us to quickly allocate resources to take advantage of opportunities to protect Nevada’s wild places in a manner consistent with changing priorities and strategies over time. Should this be your desire, please add this language to your general bequest designation: “to be allocated to the Forever Wild Fund to support the general operational needs of Friends of Nevada Wilderness.” Northern Nevada Wilderness Endowment Fund Your bequest would be used for protecting wilderness primarily in northern Nevada to care for existing and future wilderness areas. This permanent endowment fund is managed by the Community Foundation of Western Nevada. Each year a portion of the interest generated from the fund will be used for conserving wilderness in Nevada. This conservative payout allows the fund to grow so that the purchasing power of the fund payout will be preserved over the years. Gifts to this fund are gifts to the future to ensure that our special wild places will be conserved and taken care of in perpetuity. Should this be your desire, in addition to naming Friends of Nevada Wilderness using the language suggested above, add these words: “to be used to endow the management of Friends of Nevada Wilderness protection of Nevada’s wild places.” Community Foundation of Western Nevada Southern Nevada Wilderness Endowment Fund Your bequest would be used for protecting
wilderness primarily in southern Nevada to care for existing and
future wilderness areas. This endowment fund is managed by the Nevada
Community Foundation in Las Vegas. Each year a portion of the interest
generated from the fund will be used for conserving wilderness in
Nevada. This conservative payout allows the fund to grow so that
the purchasing power of the fund payout will be preserved over the
years. Gifts to this fund are gifts to the future to ensure that
our special wild places will be conserved and taken care of in perpetuity.
Should this be your desire, in addition to naming Friends of Nevada
Wilderness using the language suggested above, add these words:
“to be used to endow the management of Friends of Nevada Wilderness
protection of Nevada’s wild Nevada Community Foundation For More Information To find out more about Friends of Nevada Wilderness work or about how your donation of real estate, stocks, or other assets can be used to further wilderness protection and, in many cases, provide you lifetime income, please contact Friends of Nevada Wilderness. |
