The American River Parkway offers us an opportunity to explore the natural world and the Effie Yeaw Nature Center helps our community understand and appreciate that world. Through a Legacy Gift or Planned Giving, you can help ensure that this local treasure is preserved for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.

What Is Planned Giving?

Planned Giving simply means planning now to leave a gift after your lifetime. Often, generous people decide to give in this way because they don’t have heirs or their heirs are already provided for, they want to pass on their values, or they simply want to make a difference in their community for future generations.

Whether you have always supported ARNHA and the Effie Yeaw Nature Center, or you’ve always wanted to, a Planned Gift empowers you to make an enduring contribution. We welcome and appreciate all gifts, regardless of size. We encourage you to speak with your professional adviser about the Planned Giving options below.

Planned Giving Options

  • Simple Bequest: Build the long-term financial strength of ARNHA, while retaining control of your assets during your lifetime. Bequests are made through a will or trust.
  • Securities: Donating appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds is quick and simple and may provide you with significant tax benefits.
  • Retirement Plan Assets: Name ARNHA as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401k and other qualified plan through this tax-efficient gift.
  • Life Insurance: Name ARNHA as a full or partial beneficiary of your life insurance policy and save on estate taxes.
  • Other Options: Both of the below gift options will allow you to enjoy tax benefits while receiving a fixed rate of return annually for a specified period of time. At the same time, you can ensure that your assets are used to benefit the community in the ways that are meaningful to you.
