The Mississippi River Legacy Society
FMR donors who envision a future river restored to health and vibrancy can express this by creating a planned gift through our Mississippi River Legacy Society.
FMR can be named as a direct beneficiary of specific assets, a portion of your estate, or your residual estate after payment of other bequests.
In addition to the benefit of leaving a tangible conservation legacy, planned gifts can provide tax savings and flexibility. Plans are revocable; you can change your mind and your gift plan at any time as your life circumstances evolve.
FMR would be happy to work with you and your trusted advisors on your river legacy. (Various financial instruments can be used.)
To learn more about making a deferred gift, contact Tessa Enroth, Individual Gifts Officer, at 651-477-0915 (direct line for text messages or phone calls — texting preferred) or tenroth@fmr.org.

Why I Became a Mississippi River Legacy Society Member:
"I established a planned gift to support the health of the river and FMR's future because I have spent my whole life near the Mississippi River. The river is where I swam and fished with my father; it is where I learned about birds and spring ephemerals from my mother. I now live a short walk from the river in the Longfellow neighborhood and have the pleasure of experiencing a river on a trajectory of steady revival. FMR works with a dedicated and growing group of Longfellow community stewards who are protecting the river with lively and useful activities for all ages in care of the river we love. My gift is for where I live now and for everyone downstream."
