Leave a Legacy for Wildlife
There are many different ways that you can support the Center for Large Landscape Conservation’s work with a planned gift. Whether it’s a cash gift from your retirement account or the inclusion of CLLC in your will, you can have an impact on our global efforts to create a world where nature is undivided.
Below, we list a few of the ways you can support our work to reconnect fragmented habitat and keep wildlife on the move.
Donor Advised Funds
Making a gift through your donor-advised fund will support our work locally and around the world to safeguard the movement pathways wildlife need to survive. A donor-advised fund (DAF) is an account managed by a sponsoring organization that allows you to contribute now and direct the gift to specific charities later. Your assets can grow tax-free in this account and be granted at your recommendation.
To make a gift today or name CLLC as a beneficiary of your account, contact your sponsoring organization.
Your advisor may need the information below:
- Legal Name: Climate Conservation
- DBA: Center for Large Landscape Conservation
- Employer Identification Number (EIN): 27-1226829
Will or Bequest
Naming CLLC in your will helps ensure the wildlife and landscapes we cherish today are protected tomorrow by allowing CLLC to invest in landscapes over the long term. Donors wishing to include CLLC in an estate plan or bequest may share the following language with their legal or financial counsel:
“I give, devise, and bequeath [insert percentage of estate / specific dollar amount / remainder of residue] to Climate Conservation, a tax-exempt public charity DBA Center for Large Landscape Conservation, located at PO Box 1587, Bozeman, MT 59771.”
Note: Completing a gift intention notification or including CLLC in your will in no way binds a contributor or their executors should financial circumstances or intentions change.
If you are making or have already made a commitment to CLLC, we’d love to be notified so that we can properly thank you and better plan for the organization’s financial future. If you are including CLLC in your will, would like to restrict your gift to a specific use, or wish to discuss endowment giving opportunities, please contact Michael Wainwright, Individual Giving Director, at michaelwainwright@largelandscapes.org.
