This is a unique opportunity for our supporters to make a meaningful and lasting impact on the future of our region’s cherished landscapes.
This initiative, generously supported by Bob and Carol Keller, offers an exciting incentive: for every new commitment to include the Land Trust in your will, the Kellers will contribute a $1,000 gift to the Land Trust, up to a total of $10,000.
The Legacy Challenge encourages individuals to create a bequest in their will that includes Tug Hill Tomorrow Land Trust. Whether large or small, these gifts help safeguard the land, wildlife, and natural resources of Tug Hill for future generations to enjoy. By participating in this program, you’re not only leaving a personal legacy but also unlocking immediate support through the Kellers’ generous challenge gift.
If you have already included Tug Hill Tomorrow Land Trust in your will, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks.
To recognize this commitment, Bob and Carol Keller will make a one-time gift of $2,500 to honor those who have previously pledged their support. If you're one of these legacy donors, expect to hear from us soon so we can express our gratitude and keep you updated on the important work your gift will support.
Participating in the Legacy Challenge is simple. All it requires is completing a short form to notify the Land Trust of your legacy gift. This form helps us track where your will is filed, and who your executor or attorney is, should we need to follow up in the future. We do encourage you to share the relevant portion of your will to ensure that all the details—such as our address and federal ID number—are correct. Your information will be held strictly confidential.
Additionally, we will stay in touch with all legacy donors, ensuring regular communication to express our gratitude and keep you updated on our work. These conversations are key, as we understand that estate plans can change, and we want to ensure that your gift aligns with the areas of our work that mean the most to you.
This two-year challenge program, running now through 2026, encourages donors to act now, rather than putting off these important decisions. Making a bequest is a straightforward and meaningful way to contribute to a cause you care deeply about.
It’s also a flexible form of giving—you can adjust the details over time, and it allows you to make a lasting contribution without affecting your current financial situation.
If you have any questions or would like more information about the Legacy Challenge, please call us at 315-779-8240 or email us at thtlt@tughilltomorrowlandtrust.org.
Together, we can create a lasting legacy of conservation for Tug Hill Tomorrow!
It is so important to continue to partner with our local communities to protect Tug Hill’s most important wild lands, forests and farms that are a crucial piece of our economy. With the support of these communities and landowners we’re building a better tomorrow.
