Legacy Giving Circle
Your Legacy, Our Shared Future
Join the Legacy Giving Circle
Legacy gifts (also known as planned gifts) are a powerful way to ensure New Jersey’s spectacular landscapes remain protected forever. There is no greater gift you can leave for future generations than the promise of clean water, fresh air, and preserved open space.
At The Land Conservancy of New Jersey, we are committed to enduring conservation. This means the lands, waters, forests, and farms we save today are managed and protected in perpetuity. By including The Land Conservancy in your will or living trust, you provide for your loved ones while ensuring your passion for the land becomes a permanent part of the communities we call home.
Why Join the Legacy Giving Circle?
The Legacy Giving Circle is an honorary society celebrating those who have made a lifetime commitment to our mission. By joining, you become a “game-changer,” providing the vital financial bedrock that allows us to act with lightning speed when precious, vulnerable land suddenly becomes at risk.
Your future commitment can have an immediate impact right now.
The $1,000 Challenge: Impact Today for a Greener Tomorrow
Thanks to the visionary generosity of two dedicated couples, we have launched a special challenge to grow our Circle and accelerate our work.
-
The Challenge: For every supporter who notifies us that they have included The Land Conservancy in their estate plans, our challengers will donate $1,000 immediately to our current land protection projects.
-
The Result: By simply documenting your intent today, you unlock "real-time" funding to save New Jersey’s most at-risk landscapes right now.
