Make-A-Will Month

August is National Make-a-Will Month, a campaign to raise awareness of the importance of planning for the future and considering how you want your assets to support family, friends, and causes that you care about when you pass.  State law dictates how your assets would be distributed upon your death.  Legacy planning allows you to make those choices yourself.

Through the end of 2025, the Conservancy has a matching challenge opportunity available – for every new or enhanced legacy gift to Genesee Valley Conservancy, an anonymous donor will provide a $1,000 cash match to support the Conservancy’s efforts this year.  This campaign helps fund conservation work today, while lining up important future support for local land conservation.
