The Legacy of Freedom Society
The Legacy Of Freedom Society was created to honor the values of those who have invested in RMRP’s future. Your gift of any amount made through a will or estate plan qualifies you as a member. And by joining now, we can thank you for your gift during your lifetime.
Simple bequest language for your attorney or financial planner:
It’s easy to make a gift to the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program in your will. All it takes is a quick phone call to your attorney or financial planner to add RMRP to your will. Simply give them this sentence:
“I give $_________or _________% (or a specific account or asset) to the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program, located in Fort Collins, Colorado, to be used for its activities and programs.”
Our legal name: Rocky Mountain Raptor Program
Business address: 2519 South Shields Street, 1K-115, Fort Collins, CO 80526
Federal tax ID#: 90-0131614
Type of entity: Colorado nonprofit organization
Examples of planned gifts:
Your gift can take many forms. Here is a partial listing:
- Gift from Trust or Estate: Naming RMRP as a beneficiary in your will or revocable trust is an excellent way to provide benefit after your death. You can allocate a specific dollar amount, or you can set aside a percentage of your assets.
- Life Insurance Policy: Naming RMRP as a beneficiary on a life insurance policy is an effective way to make a gift at your death. You can even list multiple beneficiaries on a policy, to divide the death benefit amongst RMRP and other family members, friends, or charities.
- Retirement Accounts: Naming RMRP as a beneficiary on qualified retirement accounts will ensure that money is made available to them after your passing. This is a good way to make sure that your personal needs are taken care of, with the amounts remaining at your death passing to RMRP.
- Lifetime Giving: Many people want to see the fruits of their giving and prefer to make lifetime gifts. These gifts can be made directly, or can flow through a donor advised fund through organizations such as the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado, or Fidelity Charitable.

In addition, you can contact Bob Francella, RMRP’s Director of Development at 970-484-7756, or bob@rmrp.org to answer any questions you may have.
