The Nilson Society is named in honor of Len and Gloria Nilson in recognition of their remarkable generosity and support of MCF through a major planned gift. Len, who earned degrees in engineering and physics, is a business owner and microwave engineer. Gloria has served the Monmouth County community as a realtor and philanthropist and is a member of MCF’s Executive Committee.

“We’re so pleased to be able to memorialize our long and rewarding relationship with Monmouth Conservation Foundation in such an exciting way. MCF is an organization we’ve respected since its founding in 1977 so we were thrilled to be able to name its planned giving society,” Gloria shared. “Those donors who join us in providing for MCF in their estate plans are helping to ensure that MCF will be able to continue its important work for decades to come.”

BEQUEST INTENTIONS – Your bequest may be revocable or irrevocable and may be for a specific amount or percentage of the residual value.

LIFE INSURANCE – Name MCF as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy and the benefits from your policy will pass to MCF free of federal estate tax.

RETIREMENT PLAN GIFTS – Naming MCF as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k) or other qualified retirement plan is simple, flexible and tax-efficient. If you are 70 1/2 or older, you can make an annual contribution up to $100,000 directly from your traditional IRA to MCF without it being considered a taxable distribution.

REAL ESTATE – Donating land for conservation is one of the finest legacies you can leave for future generations. MCF will steward land with conservation value or convert the asset to cash for other projects.
