Support CCF
Supporting the Chatham Conservation Foundation has never been easier!
View all of the ways to support our organization below.
Land Donations or CR
One of the best ways to leave a lasting legacy is by preserving land. Donations to land trusts may qualify donors of land and/or conservation easements [also called conservation restrictions], for income, estate, or gift tax savings.
Additional guidance from an attorney, tax advisor, and/or professionals familiar with these concepts is helpful and recommended. Please contact our Executive Director to learn more, at 508-945-4084.
Planned Giving
The Chatham Conservation Foundation Inc. (CCF) is the oldest land trust on Cape Cod, an honor which we are grateful to hold and will continue to build upon. We invite members of the community to build on their legacies with us through the lasting benefits of Planned Giving, one of the most impactful ways to conserve the beauty and charming character of Chatham. We hope you will join us in forever preserving the wild places, plants, animals, ecosystems, and woodland trails that we love, by considering us in your estate planning.
CCF gratefully accepts bequests, gifts of IRAs, and gifts of life insurance, which are all briefly outlined in the column to the right. CCF is a 501(c)3 nonprofit (tax exempt number 04-6047692).
If you have questions for us and would like to learn more, please contact our Executive Director at 508-945-4084 or ExecutiveDirector@ccfinc.org
Memorial Donations
Honor the memory of someone special with a donation in remembrance. We’ll notify their loved ones of your gift, which allows their legacy to live on by making a lasting impact on nature. Consider this meaningful way to pay your final respects.
Honor a birthday, wedding or other special moment with a donation to help protect our planet.
How will the person I'm honoring or their loved one be notified?
There are several ways we will communicate with you and the person you honor about your Memorial or Special Occasion gift:
When you make your donation, you will be asked to provide a mailing address and optional email address for the person you are honoring or their loved one you wish to notify. The person you designate will also be notified of your thoughtful gift by mail within two to three weeks.
You will also receive an email and letter confirming and acknowledging your donation for your own records.
