Legacy Gifts

Become a Member of the Coastal Legacy Society

Secure the future of North Carolina’s coastlines with a legacy gift through estate planning. By including the Coastal Land Trust in your will or estate plan, you can leave a lasting impact on the natural places you love. Your thoughtful gift will help protect vital habitats, preserve wildlife, and safeguard scenic landscapes for future generations to enjoy. Estate planning is a meaningful way to ensure that your passion for conservation continues to make a difference long into the future. Let your legacy be one of preservation, care, and commitment to the beautiful coastlines of North Carolina.

“It’s become clear that North Carolina’s coastal habitat will not, on its own, survive the onslaught of growth. But I have found reason for hope. The Coastal Land Trust has protected many important natural areas and has so many more left to protect that I chose to join the Coastal Legacy Society, in addition to my annual support, so I will always be a part of this organization’s critical efforts.”
SAM RANKIN, WILMINGTON, NC

“We have been very fortunate to have been involved in real estate in eastern North Carolina over the past 25 years. However, if we don’t preserve and protect many of these areas that make eastern North Carolina so unique and special, the areas could be lost forever. With that in mind, it was an easy decision for us to become members of the Coastal Legacy Society.”
