Nep & Mary Ellen Lynch
A shared legacy of helping others.
The Nep and Mary Ellen Lynch Trade Scholarship exemplifies the spirit of the Montana Legacy Society. This scholarship supports Montana students pursuing education at accredited trade schools, ensuring that both organizations and students benefit from this enduring generosity.
You Can Preserve What You Love About Montana Through a Legacy Gift
We are all about Montana’s future and want to inspire giving for the good of Montana forever. By entrusting the Montana Community Foundation with your legacy gift, you can be sure your gift will make a meaningful and permanent impact in Montana communities for the causes you care about.
Making a gift in your estate plan to benefit Montana is one of the most common ways to make a lasting difference for your community and for the countless Montanans who will call Montana home.
It starts by making a provision in your will or estate plan of your intentions to leave assets to the Montana Community Foundation.
