Planned giving for the future creates a legacy for you and your family, and notes your commitment to preserving our natural resources. If this interests you, please consult your attorney about the tax benefits you and/or your heirs could realize. Some options are:

• Will or Living Trust: Name Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy in your will or living trust to be distributed after your lifetime. Please notify us if you have established a provision in your will, so we can give you proper recognition.
• Individual Retirement Accounts: Name Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy as the beneficiary of your individual retirement account or deferred benefit plan.
