Leave Your Legacy in the San Luis Valley
The San Luis Valley is special to many people. Whether you have roots in the Valley or you love to experience the beauty of this land, the San Luis Valley offers a way of life and experience that you cannot get anywhere else.
Protect our land and way of life for future generations with a planned gift. Naming CFSLV in your will, life insurance policy, or other estate plans will ensure your legacy lives on in the heart of the valley. Let us work with you to understand what you want for your legacy and
find a gift opportunity to achieve that. Email us at CFSLV123@gmail.com.
Support Our Future
For most people, philanthropy is a basic part of our human spirit. We like to help others. We like to give back. We like to make the communities we share just a little better. This philanthropic spirit is abundant in those who support.
For many, however, a significant charitable gift doesn’t seem possible. Life is unpredictable and people need to protect themselves against future uncertainties. With a charitable bequest, however, you can make a future gift to CFSLV without sacrificing any current assets.
With a future gift in your Will or Living Trust, nothing changes until your estate is settled. You retain 100% control over your assets throughout life. A charitable bequest protects your financial future. If a need arises, your assets are in place. If not, a beautiful gift will one day come to CFSLV.
To create a bequest, please contact your estate planning attorney. Small changes to your plan are easy and inexpensive. And if you do remember CFSLV in your plans, please let us know. For more information, please contact us at CFSLV123@gmail.com.
“The uniqueness of the Valley and having to cross a mountain pass in order to travel to anyplace else in Colorado maintains a sense of place. Our rural lifestyle in valuing the land promotes the leaving of a legacy which in turn strengthens our local community.”
Jan Oen, Supporter
Our Valley
The San Luis Valley has remained largely unchaged for centuries, dating back to 1540. Our windswept plains, Rio Grand River and Sangre de Cristo mountains provide a spiritual and intriguing sense of peace.
The legacy of our people anchors our community. We honor our heritage while remaining vibrant in our present.
This is our land of peace and beauty.
