Estate Gifts such as Wills and Trusts
There are many ways to remember Community Conservation in your estate plans, and most of these gifts are easy to create, very flexible, and can be changed at any time. Even better, they won’t cost you anything during your lifetime, and can earn significant tax benefits for you and your loved ones.
If you have any of the following assets, you can make a planned gift!
- Savings/money market account or CDs
- IRA or other retirement funds
- Real estate
- Life insurance policy
- Appreciated securities
- Tangible personal property such as art, jewelry and collectibles
- Donor advised fund or trust fund
HERE’S HOW:
- Name Community Conservation as a beneficiary of your savings/money market account, CD, retirement fund, life insurance policy, donor advised fund, or trust
- Add a bequest to your will to leave a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate to Community Conservation
- Arrange to earn income from your contributions for the rest of your life by creating a Charitable Remainder Trust or Charitable Gift Annuity
No matter how you choose to give, every planned gift is deeply appreciated and ensures that your life’s work and values will carry on for many generations to come.
