Joining the Ironwood Society inspires active protection of Catalina Island. Your legacy grows beyond a lifetime—strengthening the Conservancy’s ability to preserve an extraordinary ecosystem.
In the face of climate challenges and biodiversity loss, the stakes for Catalina Island have never been higher. Neither has our ambition and resolve.
For more than 50 years, the Conservancy has been committed to island conservation, pioneering research and restoration efforts to protect Catalina’s rich biodiversity while responsibly sharing it with the world. Now, our work is more critical than ever. Today, we face immense challenges that require bold, science-driven solutions for a climate-resilient and fire-resistant island.
Getting Started
There are many planned gifts that won’t affect your existing financial resources, but will have a significant impact on the Catalina Island Conservancy. While maintaining control and flexibility, you can provide meaningful support to the Conservancy.
Make a Bequest
A bequest is a gift provision in your will or revocable living trust that documents your gift intentions to the Conservancy. All assets, including cash, securities, real estate, and tangible personal property, may be transferred to the Catalina Island Conservancy at the end of your life.
The Ideal Gift for You?
When determining the right gift option, it’s vital to first decide your most important personal and family goal. This could range from maximizing tax benefits, to preserving assets for your heirs, to scaling your philanthropic intentions for near- and long-term impact.
