Legacy Society

Victoria J. Tschinkel, Chair

At RFF, we keep a hand in timely policy debates, yet are always thinking about the future. We've been working to improve energy, environmental, and natural resource policymaking for over 50 years now, and we will be here for another 50, at least! Planned giving is a great way to take advantage of favorable federal and state tax laws today, while making a lasting investment in RFF's work.

RFF's planned giving program offers a variety of giving options, including charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, and bequests. You can also name RFF as a beneficiary of your bank account, retirement plan, or insurance policy. Each option offers unique advantages, allowing you to tailor your giving to meet your personal financial needs and goals, whether they be to create income now for yourself and others, reduce your income and capital gains taxes, or reduce your estate taxes for your heirs. It's never too early to think about the advantages of planned giving to RFF for you and your family.

All donors of planned gifts are recognized as members of the Legacy Society and acknowledged in our Annual Report. Donors who make planned gifts of $100,000 or more are honored with lifetime memberships on the RFF Council.

We encourage you to consult with your attorney or financial advisor to evaluate the suitability of different planned gift options. For more information on RFF's planned giving program, please contact Barbara Bush, Director of Major Gifts, at 202-328-5030 or bush@rff.org.
