How can you help Connecticut Farmland Trust through your estate plan?
Make a Planned Gift or Bequest.
No gift or passion too small.
The term “planned giving” refers to future charitable gifts. Because so much of our land protection work is about ensuring that the places we save today will be protected forever, planned gifts are indispensable.
For many individuals, ensuring that the important work carried out by their favorite charities continues after their lifetime is important. If you are interested in supporting the Connecticut Farmland Trust (CFT) through your estate plan, find out how to name CFT in your will or trust.
If you have already named the CFT in your will, we thank you and ask that you please let us know about your plans. Knowing of your commitment to CFT helps us to plan for our work in the future and, also ensures we can honor your wishes.
Contact our planned giving liaison about any questions you have or to learn more about how gift and estate planning can benefit you and farmland protection. Your inquiry is always confidential.
What will your legacy be?
Leave vibrant working farms all across Connecticut.
Your past support has demonstrated your strong commitment to protecting and conserving the lands on which all life depends. With a simple gift in your will you can help protect farmland for years to come.
Many of our supporters tell us they would like to do even more to protect farms, family traditions, food sources, and the environment for future generations. You can; by leaving a gift to Connecticut Farmland Trust.
