Bequests – Leave the world a better place.
Effective estate planning usually takes time, effort and a good tax advisor and/or attorney. In the end your plan will allow your family to avoid the delay, dissention and needless expense that often occurs when a loved one dies without a Will. Once you have taken care of your family's needs, please consider a thoughtful bequest to Conservation Corps North Bay.
Conservation Corps North Bay is deeply gratefully to those friends who, through their will or living trust, make a gift to support CCNB's work for future generations.
If you already have a will prepared, you do not have to rewrite your current documents. You simply add a provision, called a codicil, to your will or living trust. Sample Bequest language.
Your bequest is entirely under your control during your life and becomes irrevocable only at death. Because bequests to Conservation Corps North Bay are generally exempt from federal or state inheritance taxes, and subject to an unlimited deduction, you may find that a commitment through your will--combined with an outright pledge or a life income gift--results in a much larger donation than you might have thought. Please consult your advisor for assistance in establishing a legacy that will reflect your commitment to CCNB's mission to develop youth and conserve natural resources for a strong, sustainable community.
If you have made a provision in your estate plans for Conservation Corps North Bay, please let us know so we can be sure to acknowledge your gift. If you'd like future generations to understand and appreciate the lives and legacies of our donors, please share your story.

Most donors plan their gifts in the form of general bequests. This general support is most helpful because it allows us to direct funds to our most crucial initiatives. However, should you have a specific interest, we would be happy to assist you in planning a gift that meets both your interests and the goals of Conservation Corps North Bay.
Before making a donation to Conservation Corps North Bay, we recommend that you consult your advisor or attorney for full advice on the effect of your gift.
