Protect the Genesee Valley Forever!
The Genesee Valley Conservancy has conserved and will steward more than 41,500 acres of protected land throughout the Genesee Valley forever. We invite you to join us as we protect these lands – forever – with a legacy gift to the Conservancy. A legacy gift comes from land, life insurance, retirement funds, bequests, and other assets and sustains your support of our mission to conserve the Genesee Valley for generations to come.
We invite you to join a community of donors whose thoughtful giving will extend beyond their lifetimes with a legacy gift to the Genesee Valley Conservancy.
Why consider this step now? An anonymous supporter will donate $1,000 for every new or enhanced legacy gift pledged to the Genesee Valley Conservancy by December 1, 2026. Completing and sending this form to us secures the $1,000 donation.

In 2025, we welcomed seven new legacy donors while one current legacy donor expanded their planned gift, resulting in an $8,000 matching gift! We are deeply grateful for this trust in our mission to protect the habitat, open space and farmland of the Genesee Valley.
If this is an appropriate time, we invite you to review your legacy plans with your trusted advisors and consider making or expanding your impact while securing a $1,000 matching gift.
If you have already made a legacy gift, we welcome the opportunity to understand your intentions and your desire to remain anonymous or share your name and gift to inspire others.
If you’re considering a legacy gift, we want to understand which facets of our work best align with your values and priorities, whether it’s stewarding conserved lands, enhancing our nature preserves, or acquiring new lands to conserve.
If you think that your commitments or resources can’t support a legacy gift, remember that this is a gift of meaning, not means. A legacy gift of any amount stays in the Genesee Valley and endures for generations.
We encourage you to begin a planning conversation with loved ones and trusted advisors to protect your resources, support your cherished causes, and ensure your peace of mind. Thank you for considering a legacy gift to sustain our commitment to protect the Genesee Valley forever.
Please consult your professional legal and financial advisors for comprehensive planning advice.
