Planned and Estate Giving

Resources from bequests and other planned gifts are key to our ongoing efforts to protect the Smith River watershed. If you have already included The Smith River Alliance in your will or named our group as a beneficiary of trust, retirement plan, life insurance policy or other planned gift, please email us or call us so we may recognize your commitment.

Making a Planned Gift is a wonderful way to make an enduring contribution to The Smith River Alliance. Learn more about how your gift can save the wild river and wild lands of the Smith River watershed while taking advantage of federal and state tax laws.

Gift planning is a great way to support us while making good use of favorable federal income, gift, and estate tax laws.

Your gift may:

• Reduce your income taxes
• Reduce capital gains taxes substantially
• Reduce your gift and estate tax
• Provide income for yourself and others

Ways of giving include:

• Include Smith River Alliance in your will
• Living Trust
• Life Insurance Gift
• Retirement Plan Gift
• Charitable Remainder Trusts
• Charitable Gift Annuity
