Direct Your Donation
You can support efforts caring for our preserves or closing land projects we have waiting in our active pipeline.
Give to the Stewardship Fund
Your Stewardship Fund donation helps us create safe places for people to connect with nature on our eight public preserves.
Give to the Land Protection Fund
Your Land Protection Fund donation directly helps us protect the land that makes our communities thrive.
Special Projects
Looking to help get a specific land protection project across the finish line? You can help us close a conservation easement, open a new nature preserve, or build out new infrastructure by directing your donation to one of the special projects below.
Iron Creek Nature Preserve Stewardship Fund
In order to responsibly care for Iron Creek forever, Legacy is fundraising for a stewardship endowment to cover ongoing management costs. More than half has been raised by leveraging federal, state, and local funding sources. We still need to raise over $400,000.
More Ways to Make a Difference
Leave a Legacy
Include Legacy Land Conservancy in your will or estate plans. A gift of any size or a gift of land ensures the places you love are protected forever. Learn more about the Legacy Society.
Gifts of Stock or IRA Rollover
Maximize your impact with tax-smart giving. Donating stock or using your IRA’s Required Minimum Distribution can support conservation while offering you financial benefits.
Donate Land
Donate a portion or all of the conserved land value when creating a conservation easement or nature preserve.
Gifts of Real Estate
Donate your property to Legacy as a trade land. Legacy sells these generous gifts—homes, commercial buildings, or unused parcels—and uses the proceeds to fund other conservation efforts.
Employer Matching Gifts
Double your impact! Many employers match charitable donations. Check with your HR department to see if your gift qualifies.
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)
Support local conservation directly from your DAF with a simple click. A DAF payment option is now available on our online donation page.
Tribute & Memorial Gifts
Honor someone special with a gift that protects the land and water.
Volunteer or In-Kind Giving
Not all gifts are financial. Volunteers, donated equipment, and professional services all help us care for land and connect people to nature.
