THE PLANNED GIVING CIRCLE
Doing Good Now. Doing Good Later.
A gift in your will costs nothing today, but it can help protect the places you love for generations to come. And right now, simply letting us know about your future gift can make a difference today, too.
Where did your love of the land begin?
Perhaps it was a favorite trail. A family farm. A mountain view. A place to paddle, fish, watch birds, or simply spend time outdoors. For many of us, a love of the land comes with a shared hope: that future generations will have the same opportunities to experience and enjoy these special places.
One simple way to help make that possible is through a gift in your will or estate plans. And there are many ways to make a future gift. You might leave a percentage of your estate, name Shasta Land Trust as a beneficiary of a retirement account, life insurance policy, donor-advised fund, or investment account, or leave a portion of what remains after providing for family and loved ones. A gift of any size can make a lasting difference.
And now, your future gift can have an impact today.
Several local friends of the Land Trust have come together to make a $250 gift to Shasta Land Trust in honor of every person who makes their planned gift known by completing a simple Statement of Future Gift Intent.
That means your gift can help twice: once today and again in the future. By letting us know about your plans, you can unlock $250 in immediate support for conservation work happening now. And your future gift will help ensure that the lands and places you care about continue to be protected and cared for for generations to come.
When you let us know that you have included Shasta Land Trust in your will or estate plans, you will also become a member of our Planned Giving Circle, a special community of people who share a commitment to protecting the lands we love well into the future.
As a member of the Planned Giving Circle, you’ll receive special opportunities to experience the impact of your commitment firsthand, including access to newly protected properties, an annual gathering honoring Planned Giving Circle members and their future gifts, and other exclusive opportunities to connect with the lands and conservation work your generosity makes possible.
Your plans for the future can protect the land for generations and make a difference today.
