Summit Society | Legacy Giving
For over 115 years, The Mountaineers organization, our members, and our publications have had a profound impact on the larger outdoor community. We have aided the growth of outdoor recreation far beyond the Pacific Northwest and many of today’s natural resources are protected thanks to actions and activities of Mountaineers members like you.
Heading into the next century, The Mountaineers leaders are committed to building on this foundation and stewarding The Mountaineers legacy by providing generations of today and tomorrow with meaningful outdoor experiences that will ensure a future for conservation.
If you’d like to make arrangements for a legacy gift but are not sure where to start, The Mountaineers has invested in a new resource for members just like you.
New Mountaineers Estate Planning Toolkits
This online resource serves as an education center where you can learn about the many options involved in estate planning. Here you'll find sample bequest language, story examples of giving options, and easy-to-use toolkits designed to help you protect your loved ones, organize everything in one place, and save on your taxes. It's also a great resource to discover how you can create a lasting impact for The Mountaineers, or any organization that has brought value to your life, by planning for a future gift in your will.
