With a lifelong love for nature and a giving spirit, Nancy Gotfredson has supported The Nature Conservancy (TNC) for more than 26 years. From donating through the Jean Thomas Lambert Foundation, named after her mother, to becoming a board member and personal donor, she is passionate about TNC’s work in Ohio and beyond.
“We cannot take our planet for granted. We have to protect it. TNC does a phenomenal job of doing that and following the science,” says Gotfredson.
Gotfredson currently serves as the Trustee Legacy Ambassador for TNC in Ohio. With this position, she teaches board members how to give to TNC through their estate planning.
“Giving is very personal. I help those give who have the intention,” says Gotfredson.
Many of our members choose to make a gift to The Nature Conservancy through their wills, trusts, retirement accounts or life insurance policies.
Taking a few minutes to make a plan can have extraordinary benefits for you and our world. Contact Margaret Pomfret, director of development in Ohio, today at margaret.pomfret@tnc.org to learn more.
My love for the natural world runs deep. Nature gives us everything we need—our food, water and the beauty that restores our spirits. Including The Nature Conservancy in my estate plans is one way I can ensure that the landscapes and waters I cherish will continue.
With your help we have accomplished many goals toward a clean, healthy, thriving Ohio.
There is still more to do, but we can't do it without you.
