Success Stories

Anna Lou Wooldridge

MALT acquired 44 acres in Conifer, previously owned by Anna Lou Wooldridge. Ms. Wooldridge was passionate about the outdoors and conservation, and designated MALT in her will to own and care for this property after her passing. Ms. Wooldridge welcomed hikers and horses to enjoy her land, and it is MALT’s intention to continue to keep the parcel available for the public to use for the same purposes.

What is the Legacy Council?

The Legacy Council is an engaged community of MALT donors who take a financial leadership role in conserving a legacy of land, rivers, streams and stunning mountain views.

As MALT plans ahead for a strong future of land and water conservation along Colorado’s Front Range and from Denver to the Continental Divide, it relies on a committed group of donors who wish to create a legacy of conservation for our mountain communities by providing MALT the consistent financial resources it needs to lead these efforts.

Benefits include exclusive Legacy Council receptions, private guided hikes, opportunities to visit conserved properties and more!

Contact MALT today at 303-679-0950 or MALT@SaveTheLand.org to discuss business sponsorship opportunities.

Benefits of Planned Giving

Imagine vast open lands, wildlife habitat, mountain streams, lakes and historic ranches: the Colorado we know and love conserved for future generations. These things are possible when we work together to save the land and invest in Colorado’s future.

Mountain Area Land Trust (MALT) has been saving land and water since 1992, from Denver to the Continental Divide, and Pikes Peak to Long’s Peak.

Planned giving is an important way to ensure our shared legacy of vistas, water and wildlife that will continue to be protected.

Gifts made through wills are:

• Easy to arrange
• Can be changed at anytime you choose
• Allow you to direct assets to good use when you no longer need them, without affecting your cash flow today

As someone who values conserved land, water and wildlife, we invite you to become a member of MALT’s Vista Giving Circle today. Vista Giving Circle members receive special recognition as well as invitations to exclusive MALT activities. And your participation inspires others!

There are many ways to join MALT’s Vista Giving Circle

You may choose to:

• Leave a gift to MALT in your will. This is one of the most common forms of planned giving. You can designate a specific dollar amount or percentage of your estate to be donated to MALT.
• Name MALT as a beneficiary to your retirement account or life insurance policy.
• Leave a gift of real estate. Donating land or a house to MALT is a perfect way to leverage an asset to conserve natural resources for future generations.
