The Conservation Legacy Society recognizes people who have included Conservation Law Center in their will, trust, retirement plan, life insurance policy, or other estate plans. If you have already included CLC in your plans, we hope you’ll let us know so we can thank you and welcome you to the Conservation Legacy Society. Sharing your plans is entirely optional and does not create a binding commitment.

Ways to leave your legacy
Make a Gift Through Your Will or Trust
A gift in your estate plans is one of the simplest and most flexible ways to create a lasting conservation legacy. Because the gift is made through your estate, you retain control of your assets during your lifetime and can change your plans at any time.
How it Works:
- Include Conservation Law Center in your estate plan. Leave a specific asset or a portion of your estate to CLC by including a bequest provision in your will or revocable (“living”) trust.
- Decide how you’d like to give. Designate a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after other provisions are fulfilled. CLC can be included as a primary or contingent beneficiary.
- Designate your gift. Choose to designate your gift to a specific program or initiative.
- Notify CLC. Once you have included CLC in your estate plans, please let us know so we can thank you and welcome you to the Conservation Legacy Society.
Name CLC as a Beneficiary
Name “The Conservation Law Center, Inc.” as a full or partial beneficiary on a life insurance policy, retirement plan, or other financial account. In many cases, making or changing a beneficiary designation is as simple as requesting a form from your plan administrator or financial institution.
Create a Legacy Through Your Donor-Advised Fund
Ask your sponsoring organization whether you can recommend CLC as a charitable successor or designate CLC to receive some or all of the funds remaining in your donor-advised fund.
Considering a gift for a specific purpose?
An unrestricted legacy gift gives CLC the greatest flexibility to respond to the conservation challenges of the future.
If you are considering restricting your gift to a particular program or purpose, please contact us. We would be glad to work with you and your advisor to help ensure that your wishes can be fulfilled over time.
Other Legacy Gifts
There are many ways to support conservation through your financial or estate plans. If you are considering another type of planned gift, we would be glad to talk with you and your professional advisors about your intentions and CLC’s ability to accept the gift.
