Bequest and Estate Gifts

Naming the Grand Canyon Trust in your will or trust helps ensure the Grand Canyon and Colorado Plateau’s remarkable landscapes are protected for generations to come.

Exploring the Grand Canyon and Colorado Plateau have brought you joy and inspiration over the years. A gift through your will to the Trust will have a lasting impact on our ability to safeguard the places you love far into the future. When you notify the Trust of your planned gift, you become a member of the Legacy Circle and enjoy access to exclusive field trips and special events.

The details

  • Work with your financial advisor to include the Trust as a primary or contingent beneficiary in your will or trust.
  • The gift is made after your lifetime, so you will continue to have control of your assets.
  • If your circumstances change, you may modify your will or trust.

For more information about naming the Trust in your estate plan or other planned gifts, please contact Eric Horner at (928) 286-3373 or ehorner@grandcanyontrust.org.

**Please note the Grand Canyon Trust cannot render tax or legal advice. We encourage you to consult with your professional advisor about your situation before making a charitable gift.
