Legacy planning doesn't have to be stressful. With the right tools and timely strategies, you can stay true to your vision and help your loved ones feel prepared.

Here are a few key things to keep in mind:
• The amount you can pass on without federal estate or gift tax is $15 million per person—or $30 million for married couples in 2026. These higher limits give families more flexibility and room to plan for the future.
• Preparing your wealth transfer priorities today can make a meaningful difference. Name beneficiaries, establish a will and consider trusts.
• Gifting can also play a role. Many people give annually to take advantage of the gift tax exclusion—up to $19,000 per person in 2026 without triggering gift tax.

A thoughtful approach can help more of what you’ve built reach the people and causes you care about. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4hpRIzN

What a month!

Throughout July, we celebrated National Parks and Recreation Month with recreation, creativity, and connection. From the City Park Block Party, BBQ Cookoff, Paddle Royale Pickleball Tournament, Safety in the Park, Birdhouse Painting, Paint & Sip, and Outdoor AquaFit, it was a month full of community connection and love of recreation!

A huge thank you goes to Dakota Prairie Associates – Thrivent for making this year's July Celebration possible. Your support helps create opportunities for our community to connect, stay active, and enjoy all that parks and recreation have to offer. THANK YOU!

And thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, and celebrated with us. We can't wait to do it all again next year! ☀️💚
