Bison Legacy SocietyPlanned Gifts

When you include National Park Trust in your will, you join a generous community of donors who believe our national parks should be treasured forever. With your support, we can continue our work to ensure that everyone, for generations to come, will be able to experience the endless possibilities of our nation’s parks.

A Gift Through Your Will or Trust

When you designate a fixed sum or a portion of your estate to support National Park Trust, your contribution helps provide the resources necessary to protect parks today and nurture future park stewards.

See the sample language below to include in your will.

Retirement Plan Assets

Designating National Park Trust as a full or partial beneficiary of one or more of your retirement accounts supports our work and can provide tax relief for your heirs. Donating retirement plan assets allows you to leave your loved ones less heavily taxed assets.
