By planning a deferred gift to the Islands Trust Conservancy, you can create a lasting conservation legacy. Your donation can make a profound difference in the islands for generations to come. A deferred gift can also provide considerable tax savings for you today or your estate in the future.
Exploring your giving options
Did you know that...
• You can make a gift at no cost to you during your lifetime
• You can turn small contributions today into an exponentially larger gift tomorrow
• You can make a gift that reduces taxes on your estate, leaving more of an inheritance to your
heirs
• You can substantially reduce your capital gains taxes by giving a gift to nature
These giving techniques are called "planned gifts" as they require thoughtful, long term planning to create win-win solutions for you and the Islands Trust Conservancy.
