Legacy Giving - Include the MRF in your will or estate plan

Some of the most meaningful gifts to the Madison River are the ones that last beyond our lifetimes. By including the Madison River Foundation in your will or estate plan, you can protect cold, clean water, healthy habitat, and the future of this watershed for generations—while also caring for your family and loved ones first.

Legacy giving is simple, flexible, and deeply personal. You can make this commitment today, and it doesn’t have to affect your current finances.

Why a Legacy Gift Matters

A planned gift helps the Madison River Foundation:

• Strengthen long-term restoration and habitat work

• Sustain scientific monitoring that guides smart decisions

• Support education and stewardship for future generations

• Respond to emerging threats with stability and speed

Legacy gifts create a foundation we can build on—year after year.
