A gift through your will or trust is one of the most popular and flexible ways that you can support GVLT’s mission. For an unrestricted gift that allows GVLT to determine how to use the funds based on the most pressing needs, use the following language for your will and/or trust:
"I give to GVLT, a nonprofit corporation located at P.O. Box 7021, Bozeman, MT 59771, or its successor thereto, _________ [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted charitable use and purpose."
To designate your provision for a particular purpose or restricted fund, please contact GVLT Director of Development Justin Barth to discuss your options.

A charitable gift annuity established with GVLT can provide you with a secure source of fixed payments for life. Contact us to learn more about how an annuity might work for you.
-
A beneficiary designation gift is a simple and affordable way to make a gift to support GVLT. You can designate us as a beneficiary of IRAs and retirement plans, donor-advised funds, investment or bank accounts, or your life insurance policy.
Start by requesting a change of beneficiary form from your policy administrator or download the form from your provider’s website. Return a copy of the form to GVLT to establish your intentions.
