Charitable Gift Annuities
You can support the work of The Conservation Fund now and enjoy secure, fixed payments for life with a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA).
A CGA accomplishes two goals—preserving the landscapes you cherish through a gift to the Fund and retaining income through fixed payments to you or your loved ones. A portion of the payments may be tax-free, and you will be entitled to a charitable income tax deduction. Contact us for current rates and deductions.

"The Conservation Fund has earned our seventh consecutive 4-star rating. Receiving four out of a possible four stars indicates that your organization adheres to good governance and other best practices that minimize the chance of unethical activities and consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way. Only 2% of the charities we rate have received at least seven consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that The Conservation Fund outperforms most other charities in America.
