Making a planned gift (aka bequest) to BRC is a simple way to protect Northwest Wisconsin, A Place You Love.
Most of our land conservation work is about ensuring the places we save today will be protected forever. Planned gifts are essential to assure that BRC will have resources to carry on its mission over the long term.
Your bequest can be in the form of cash or marketable securities from a trust, will, life insurance policy or retirement account. Simply name BRC as a beneficiary and designate the amount of the gift. The BRC Planned Giving Policy and detailed instructions for making planned gifts are provided on our website.
Your planned gift offers several benefits:
FlexibilityYou can change your mind at any time.
VersatilityYou can structure the bequest to leave a specific sum, make the gift contingent on certain events, or leave a percentage or residual amount to BRC.
Tax Relief You can take a estate tax charitable deduction for the full value of the gift.
Gifts made through wills and living trusts are easy to arrange. You will enjoy peace of mind knowing that your bequest will be put to good use. Consult your attorney and financial advisor to assure your planned gift is properly defined and fits your situation.
By including BRC in your estate plans, you become a member of the BRC Legacy Society. With permission, the members are recognized annually for their commitment.
