Bequests

Through a simple charitable bequest in your will or living trust, you can arrange a lasting, meaningful gift for Iowa’s land.

How it works.

It is easy to include Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation in your estate plan by adding a simple codicil to an existing will or by including language in a will you are currently having drafted.

Please talk with INHF staff about your plans, so we can be certain we understand your intentions for the future use of your gifts.

Benefits.
