Planned giving can help you combine your philanthropic goals to help conserve land with sound financial planning to take advantage of tax benefits. There are several time-tested options including: bequests, gifts of retirement assets, life income gifts, donations of real estate, or naming the Trust as a life insurance beneficiary. If you are interested in pursuing one of these options, we can put you in touch with financial planners who can help you make a planned gift that will benefit The Kestrel Trust.

Contact Kristin DeBoer, Executive Director at kristin@kestreltrust.org or 413-549-1097.
