Legacy Giving
Create A Legacy
The Thomas Jefferson Circle
The Thomas Jefferson Circle was established to recognize donors who have expressed commitment to the Corporation for Jefferson’s Poplar Forest by including Poplar Forest in their estate plans. Legacy gifts sustain our mission and provide future financial support to this cherished historic landmark. If you have already included Poplar Forest in your will or trust, please let us know. We would love to thank you for your generosity to Jefferson’s beloved retreat home, as well as designate you as a member of the Thomas Jefferson Circle.
Begin your legacy with us
To help you get started on your plans and legacy, we invite you to use FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.
Non-probate assets
Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so, these are called non-probate assets and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately. Use this online tool to make your plans and designate us as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.
Please contact Renée Rose Flowers, Director of Development at 434-534-8129 or Renee@poplarforest.org to discuss how your gift can help further the mission of Poplar Forest.
