Planned Gifts

---

A planned gift to the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation is a great way to "give something back" to Iowa's land and people. You might be surprised to know that your generosity can benefit you and your family financially, too.

A planned gift can be as simple as including the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation in your will or naming the Foundation as a beneficiary of an insurance policy, retirement plan, or certificate of deposit

Regardless of the kind of planned gift you choose, you will direct your dollars to conservation (not taxes), help simplify your estate plans, and perhaps increase your income.

You can designate the use of your planned gift. Most planned gifts that come to INHF are directed to the endowment fund, helping us to achieve these goals:

Restore and protect thousands of acres of wild places in Iowa: prairies, woodlands, wetlands, rivers, and trails.
Educate Iowans about how and why they should care for natural resources.
Build a revolving land protection fund that provides quick interim financing when it's needed to buy and protect wild places.

We hope you will consider leaving a legacy to INHF and your other favorite charities. We invite you to take time today to learn more about these planned gifts:
