Leave a Conservation Legacy

A legacy gift is a way to make a lasting impact by including a charitable donation in your will. It allows you to support causes you care about, ensuring your values and generosity continue to make a difference. Don't yet have a will? Get started here, free of cost.

Make a

Bequest

A bequest is a special gift you leave to someone through your will. It can be money, property, or personal items given to a person or organization you care about. Bequests ensure your belongings go where you want, supporting loved ones or causes close to your heart. 

Designate a Beneficiary

A beneficiary designation is a way to choose who will receive certain assets, like life insurance proceeds or retirement funds. By naming a beneficiary, you ensure that the money goes directly to the person or organization you want. It's a simple way to make sure your wishes are followed.
