• Include Riverkeeper in Your Estate

  Help to ensure a promising future for the Hudson River and the New York City Watershed by making arrangements to include Riverkeeper in your estate planning. Planned giving is a lasting way of ensuring our clean water mission endures for generations. Special gifts can be achieved through bequests or charitable trusts, and can include real estate, bonds or other tangible assets.

  In addition to sustaining Riverkeeper’s mission and providing a meaningful legacy, these special ways of giving offer several benefits to donors. Since the tax rules regarding this type of donation regularly change, Riverkeeper strongly encourages you to consult with an attorney who specializes in estate planning and estate and gift taxes before deciding what best suits your needs.

  If you wish to discuss the language of your bequest or seek additional information on planned giving opportunities, please contact Linde Ostro, VP for Development, at 914-478-4501 ext. 229, or lostro@riverkeeper.org.

• Give a Gift in Someone's Memory or Honor

  Honor a friend or family member, or their memory, with a gift in their name. Honorary and memorial donations are lasting and meaningful alternatives to gifts or flowers. Many choose such a gift to recognize a friend or family member’s love of the Hudson River.
