Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation Unveils Legacy Giving Society

[Link]The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation is thrilled to recognize supporters with a newly established giving society, the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation Legacy Tree. Lifetime contributions and planned or estate commitments to the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation qualify supporters to be members of this special recognition society.

The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation Legacy Tree celebrates supporters fueling programs that create informed consumers, engaged leaders and strong farmers. In 2024, over $390,000 was distributed to Foundation programs thanks to generous supporters.

Individuals and families whose lifetime giving totals at least $5,000, or who make any size planned or estate commitment, are welcomed as members. Members of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation Legacy Tree will be recognized throughout the year on the Foundation's website, in publications and during the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Annual Meeting.

"We're excited to have a lasting way to thank and recognize those who are highly invested in the Foundation's mission," said Foundation Director John Hromyak. "Our supporters serve as an example of how giving back can ensure a bright future for agriculture and we honored to be part of their legacy."

The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Legacy Tree also recognizes county Farm Bureaus and businesses, who are welcomed at $10,000 and $50,000 of lifetime giving, respectively.

Those who already meet cumulative giving thresholds will be contacted with more details, and the inaugural members to the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation Legacy Tree will be celebrated in December at the WFBF Annual Meeting.

The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation was established in 1988 to provide support for agricultural education and leadership programs. Through donations and other contributions, the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation invests time and resources to support the next generation of agriculturists.
