Planned Giving
You can leave a legacy of great parks and abundant green space for future generations by including Legacy Parks Foundation in your estate planning. For more information on IRA charitable contributions or planned giving, please contact us.
Matching Gifts
Many companies match their employees' contribution to the Foundation. Please check with your payroll office to see if that option is available. If your company does not currently match but is interested in learning more, please contact us.
Gifts of Land & Easements
Protecting land through the Foundation allows you to help expand our park and green space holdings and influence how the land will be used for generations to come.
Donated land of all types has value to the Foundation. Many properties can become park, greenway or scenic areas. Other property may be sold and the proceeds used to fund the Foundation's land conservation efforts.
A conservation easement is a good option if you own land with important natural, cultural or historic resources and wish to maintain your private property rights.
Potentially significant federal tax benefits may occur with both land donations and conservation easement. Please contact us to learn more.
In-kind Gifts
Donating needed goods or services to the Foundation is a welcome way for you to help defray the Foundation's operating costs while potentially benefiting from a tax deduction for the fair market value of the gift. Please
contact us to learn which goods and services are most needed.
Sponsorships & Donations
Business and organizations can benefit from association with highly publicized, well-attend, family-oriented events which benefit the Foundation. Each sponsorship can be customized for our sponsors to allow them to be a true partner in the event.
Sponsorship is also available for popular and highly-visible features and structures within our parks and recreational areas across the county.
