Planned giving is a meaningful way to ensure that nature centers and related organizations have an impact for generations to come. By including ANCA in your estate plans, you help sustain the organizations that inspire people to care for the natural world.
Giving in your will or living trust
One of the simplest ways to make a planned gift is through a bequest in your will or living trust. This allows you to leave a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or a portion of what remains after other gifts are distributed. A bequest costs nothing during your lifetime but creates a lasting impact on the success of nature centers across North America.
SAMPLE BEQUEST LANGUAGE: I give to the Association of Nature Center Administrators, located in Logan, UT, federal tax identification number 31-1416058, _____% of my total estate (or $_____).
Beneficiary designation
Another easy and tax-efficient way to support ANCA is by naming us as a beneficiary of your retirement plan, life insurance policy, or commercial annuities.
To designate ANCA as a beneficiary, request a beneficiary designation from your plan or policy administrator. List “Association of Nature Center Administrators” as a beneficiary and use our Tax ID EIN: 31-1416058

Retirement Plans & IRAs
Retirement assets, such as 401(k)s, 403(b)s, and IRAs, are often subject to income taxes when passed to non-spouse heirs. However, when you name ANCA as a beneficiary, 100% of your gift goes toward supporting our mission, free of taxes.
Life Insurance Policies
If you have a life insurance policy, consider naming ANCA as a beneficiary. This allows you to make a significant impact without affecting your current financial situation.
Commercial Annuities
A commercial annuity is a financial product that provides a stream of income, often during retirement. Many annuities accumulate tax-deferred earnings, meaning that when they are passed to heirs, they can be subject to income taxes.
By naming ANCA as a beneficiary of your commercial annuity, you can ensure that the remaining funds in your annuity support our mission tax-free. This is an effective way to maximize your charitable impact while reducing the tax burden on your heirs.
Your Gift, Your Legacy
When you make a planned gift to ANCA, you help nature centers thrive by investing in the leaders and organizations that guide them. Your generosity ensures that these vital institutions remain strong, adaptive, and impactful—today and for the future.
