Bequests, Estate Plans & Wills

Making a Planned Gift to Capitol Land Trust is one of the best ways to create a personal conservation legacy. Planned gifts provide Capitol Land Trust with the resources and staff to plan for the future and continue protecting our region’s natural areas and working lands.

Capitol Land Trust is a proud member of Leave 10 South Sound, a movement to educate, encourage and inspire people to leave at least 10% of their estate to non-profit organizations.
