Planned Giving

Planned giving ensures that your family and your property are protected while you take full advantage of favorable federal and state tax laws that cover your donation to the Conservation Trust for North Carolina. The most common instruments are:

• Outright gifts of cash, stocks and bonds, real estate, insurance and personal property
• Bequests
• Life income gifts
• Land donation

A gift to CTNC can be both meaningful and financially wise. Depending on the method and timing of your gift, you may:

• Reduce your income, capital gains and/or estate taxes
• Receive income
• Retain control of your assets now
• Reduce future estate taxes

Planned giving allows you peace of mind, knowing that you're protecting your family's financial security at the same time you're helping to protect North Carolina's natural heritage for generations to come. Your financial advisor or tax lawyer can give you information tailored to your situation.
