“The mission of View the Future is to preserve, protect, and enhance the natural environment, promoting collaborative actions for scientific, educational, recreational, cultural, and economic goals for the benefit of the Yachats community and its future generations.”
If you are someone who values the mission of View the Future, you might be interested in the following information. This is the time of year when annual financial reviews often happen. As you do your review, we would like to ask you to remember View the Future by considering a monthly recurring donation, or a Legacy Gift through your will or trust.
- Are you over age 70 ½? A Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA could be a great tax-wise way to support View the Future while meeting your Required Minimum Distribution. To learn more, talk to a View the Future board member or check out this article: https://www.investopedia.com/articles/financial-advisors/032116/how-use-qcd-rule-reduce-your-taxes.asp
- Become a “View the Future Champion” by choosing a recurring monthly tax-deductible donation. A monthly gift benefits you by spreading the financial impact across the entire year and benefits VtF by providing a stable funding base we can plan on through the year. The VtF web site donation form allows you to select monthly recurring donations
- Plan a Legacy Gift: For any income level, a Legacy Gift offers you a way to provide ongoing support for what you have cared about in your life. In your Will or Trust you can name VtF as a beneficiary of all or a portion of your estate. A few of the most common ways to make a legacy gift are:
- Gift of a percentage of your estate, fund, or asset
- Gift of a specific dollar amount or asset
- Gift of the balance or residue of your estate after other distributions have occurred.
The instructions in your Will or Trust must include our name, address, tax reporting number. You can designate the gift to apply to a specific fund or mark it as unrestricted to be used for greatest need. View the Future PO Box 443, Yachats OR. 97498 (Tax ID # 55-0864992)
We are happy to discuss any of these options further with you. Just drop us an email and we will get back to you to set a meeting time vtf.oregon@gmail.com
Thank you, View the Future Board
