Planned Giving: Leave a Legacy That Lasts

Support what matters—today and for generations to come. Planned giving lets you align your philanthropy with your values, financial goals, and love for nature.

Why Choose a Planned Gift?

  • Protects Deer Lake Outdoor Center’s forests, trails, lake, and wildlife

  • May offer tax advantages, like avoiding capital gains
  • Often allows deduction of full fair market value
