Protect for Perpetuity

We know how much you care about this special area we are lucky enough to be able to enjoy and steward. As it nurtures us, we all can devote ourselves to protecting its assets through the use of our own.

One of the most meaningful ways to let the Gunnison Country know how much you care is to remember High Country Conservation Advocates in your planned giving. Your remembrance, in any amount, will help us continue our decades-long dedication to the protection of our public lands, rivers and wildlife well into the future.

Here are easy ways to include HCCA in your legacy gifts:
  1. You can make an outright commitment to HCCA in your will or trust by consulting with your lawyer to include HCCA as a beneficiary in your estate plan or bring it up-to-date.

  2. Declaring HCCA as a beneficiary of your IRA is simple too. And, if you’re over 73, you may give to HCCA as part of your annual required minimum distribution. Your tax accountant or financial advisor can easily explain how.

  3. HCCA appreciates gifts of stock, and can help facilitate the transfers.

  4. It’s easy to name HCCA as the beneficiary of your life insurance policy.

 

To get started, just share our legal name, address, and tax identification number with your lawyer for inclusion in your estate planning documents.
