Give now to support ocean conservation work
Gifts Anyone Can Afford
Did you know there are ways to support Ocean Conservancy that don't affect your current lifestyle or your family's security?
You can support Ocean Conservancy with gifts that don't impact the way you live by designating Ocean Conservancy to receive estate assets in the future, or by making immediate gifts to us of assets that are "out of sight and out of mind."
We call these "Gifts Anyone Can Afford" because anyone can make them now without impacting cash flow, lifestyle, or family security.
The Benefits
- You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime.
- You can make a gift that leaves your cash flow and current financial planning unchanged.
- You don't have to use cash to make your gift; you can "buy low and give high" by making your gift with appreciated securities instead.
- You can give an asset you no longer need or want.
