Bequest in Will or Trust
With just a few sentences in your will or trust, you can designate a portion of your estate or making a specific bequest by giving cash or securities to the Belle Isle Conservancy. Bequests are a simple and popular way to make a planned gift.
Beneficiary Designations
You can name Belle Isle Conservancy as a beneficiary of a retirement plan or life insurance policy. You may determine that your plan or policy may be worth more to Belle Isle than to your heirs because of income and estate taxes.
Endowment Contribution
The Belle Isle Conservancy has an endowment fund with the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan. Donations to this fund will enable the longterm viability and success of investments, projects, and programs on Belle Isle.
Charitable Gift Annuities
For donors who are interested in making a charitable contribution, but still wish to retain an income stream during their lifetime, a charitable gift annuity may be an attractive option. When the last annuitant passes, the remainder is added to the Belle Isle Conservancy’s endowment fund.
