Including ALOT in your will or estate plan is a powerful way to sow seeds of lasting change. Agriculture is more than a livelihood—it's the backbone of our communities, our economy, and our future. By supporting ALOT and its efforts to empower future leaders in farming, industry, and rural development, you ensure that the next generation has the tools, training, and vision to thrive. Your legacy can help strengthen rural communities, and grow leaders who will feed and lead the world with resilience and purpose. It's a gift that yields dividends far beyond a lifetime.
Including the ALOT in your estate plans is easy. All it takes is a few sentences in your will or trust. Your gift can be made as a percentage of your estate, or a specific sum. The following language can be shared with your estate planning attorney:
"I give, devise, and bequeath to the Agricultural Leadership of Tomorrow Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation located in Columbia, Missouri - Tax ID 43-1381216: The sum of $___________or ____percent (____%) of my net residuary estate after the payment of all my debts and taxes; or all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate.... to be used for the benefit of the Agricultural Leadership of Tomorrow Foundation's areas of greatest need."
You can designate the Agricultural Leadership of Tomorrow Foundation as a beneficiary of all or a portion of a life insurance policy (not owner), retirement fund, or other assets like an annuity or bank account. Simply provide the name of the Agricultural Leadership of Tomorrow Foundation and our EIN: 43-1381216 to the appropriate financial advisor.
If you have already designated ALOT as a beneficiary, we hope that you will let us know so that we can recognize you and your legacy gift.
