2016 ANNUAL REPORT Snap Shots A snap shot of last year!

© Kent Mason Simple Gifts, and Lasting Ones I pulled up to a Starbucks drive-thru one evening to fuel myself for a road trip to a conservation site. As I fumbled for cash, the double windows opened and the cheerful barista leaned forward with my beverage. “It’s already paid for, by the person who was in front of you,” she said.

Tail lights were leaving the lane, turning away from my destination; no chance to thank this thoughtful person. “OK, I’ll pay for the person behind me,” I said. “Nobody else is in line,” she responded. “But try it some other time.” That random anonymous act of ACCREDITATION kindness, and the coffee, warmed me for the rest of the drive.

The West Virginia Land Trust has been similarly warmed this year by generous ACHIEVEMENT contributions from people we don’t know personally – and one who is totally anonymous – who have called us up to say that they have heard of our work and want to help After a year of rigorous conserve West Virginia’s Special Places by directing portions of their retirement accounts to us.

Our end-of-year annual appeal brought retirement account gifts to the Land Trust that were wonderful surprises. We have also begun to receive inquiries about bequests from estates. If you are planning your legacy, and want to dedicate a portion of your retirement or your estate’s financial resources to conservation, you can be sure that we will use those funds for permanent protection of West Virginia’s Special Places. Your tax advisor can advise you on tax benefits that may come from this kind of donation.

Rachel Wood, a financial planner in Morgantown, suggests to all of her clients that they consider allocating a percentage of their estates’ value to a charitable cause. “There’s so much need in our communities, and organizations like the Land Trust can do great things with gifts that come as part of an estate plan,” she said. “As little as 5% of an estate can often provide a wonderful windfall that supports West Virginia’s future, with relatively little impact on other heirs to the estate.”

IT IS SIMPLE: - Name the West Virginia Land Trust as a beneficiary of your will or living trust. - Name the West Virginia Land Trust as a beneficiary of your required minimum distribution, or a portion of it, from a retirement plan. - Consider funding a charitable remainder trust to benefit the Land Trust. - Name the West Virginia Land Trust as a beneficiary of your qualified retirement plan (IRA, 403(b), 401(k)). - Designate the West Virginia Land Trust as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy.

YOU CAN CHOOSE: You may designate your gift for a particular purpose that is important to you, or allow us to use the gift where the need is greatest at the time it matures. You may also indicate a set amount, a percentage or the remaining balance to benefit the West Virginia Land Trust.

BENEFITS: - Your assets remain in your control during your lifetime. - You can modify your gift at any time to address changing circumstances. - You can direct your gift to a particular purpose (be sure to check with us to ensure your gift can be used as intended). - Under current federal tax law there is no upper limit on the estate tax deduction for your charitable gifts.

One donor who contacted us said “I am grateful and excited for the work of the Land Trust. For years we’ve been reinvesting the Required Minimum Distribution. But I’d just like to do something else with it now. It can come to you annually. And I’d like it to be dedicated to projects that protect more land.” Another donor said, “We donate annually to the WV Land Trust to further the goal of preserving those natural places unique to West Virginia. By naming WVLT s a beneficiary of our retirement account, we help ensure this goal continues in the future.”

Please let us know if you have designated the West Virginia Land Trust in your will, so we can thank you while you are still among us!
