Planned giving is a powerful way to support the League's mission while aligning with your personal, financial, estate-planning, and philanthropic goals. Whether through a bequest, gift of stock or securities, real estate, life insurance or retirement plan, planning a gift to the League through your estate is a powerful declaration of your support for historic preservation. By including the League in your will, you help safeguard New York's historic buildings, neighborhoods, and landscapes for generations to come.

There are several ways to make a legacy gift, and it can be as simple as naming the Preservation League of New York State as a beneficiary or adding a few sentences to your will (see sample language below under "For Your Financial Advisor"). These gifts are flexible and non-binding — if your circumstances change, you can revise your plans at any time. Be sure to consult your financial advisor about the potential tax benefits of planned giving.
