Legacy Giving
There’s something special about taking your children, and then your children’s children, to the Nature Center. Seeing the animals and play areas through their eyes helps you rediscover memories that had long been stored away. There’s a sense of belonging, and a beautiful knowledge that one day, this little one might just carry on the tradition and visit the Nature Center with their own children.
In a few years, the WNC Nature Center will celebrate its 50th anniversary. How do we make sure it is still here and thriving for the next 50 years? The long and short of it is that we cannot, unless we give a gift beyond our lifetimes. The Friends of the WNC Nature Center have a Legacy Giving program to help ensure future generations get to experience the plants and animals of the Southern Appalachians Mountains firsthand at the Nature Center.
There are many charitable planned giving options available to you, including naming the Friends of the WNC Nature Center as a beneficiary of your last will and testament, life insurance policy, or retirement plan. If you have decided to include the Friends in your estate plans, please let us know!
