Planned Giving

Leave a Lasting Legacy with Planned Giving

At American Farmland Trust (AFT), your support ensures that America’s farmland remains productive and protected for generations to come. Through planned giving, you can make a lasting impact that aligns with your financial goals and philanthropic values. Join us in preserving the land that sustains us all.

Why Planned Giving?

Planned giving allows you to make meaningful contributions to AFT while also achieving your financial and estate planning objectives. Whether you wish to make a gift today or in the future, there are various options to consider, each offering unique benefits for you and your loved ones.

Receive Income As You Give

 

A life income gift – such as a charitable gift annuity or charitable trust – provides future support for American Farmland Trust (AFT) while also providing a tax deduction and payments to you or your loved ones. Payments can be fixed, variable, or deferred, offering flexibility to meet your financial needs.

Make an Immediate Impact

 

Gifts of appreciated stocks, mutual funds, or real estate held for more than one year may provide special tax advantages. Donate these assets outright or use them to establish a gift that generates income for you or another loved one.

Plan for your Future

 

Including AFT in your estate plan may allow you to do more than you thought possible while achieving your own personal and financial goals. Gain potential tax savings and maintain access to your assets in case you need them.

Farm Legacy

AFT’s national Farm Legacy initiative ensures that land remains in farming as it transitions to the next generation while improving access to land for new farmers—honoring the nation’s farming and ranching legacy and securing its future. The comprehensive Farm Legacy initiative leverages AFT’s unique position as the only national organization focusing on farmland, ranchland, and the people who steward it.
