Planned Giving

When you make a legacy gift to the Rural Utah Project through your will, trust, or other life income plan, you build our capacity in rural communities for generations.

There are many planned giving techniques that can help you maximize the personal benefits of your charitable giving while allowing you to make an impactful gift that you might not have thought possible. With questions about supporting RUP through planned giving, please contact our Development Director, Kate Steinicke at [email protected].

Please note that the Rural Utah Project cannot give legal or tax advice. Please consult with your financial advisor or attorney to help you choose the right planned gift for you and your family.
