Thank you for considering a bequest to benefit your Loma Prieta Chapter of the Sierra Club. When you include us in your planned giving, you are leaving an environmental legacy for future generations.
Bequests may be tax deductible or tax non-deductible. The difference is how they are used. Tax-deductible bequests can only be used for education and outreach purposes. tax non-deductible bequests can be used for advocacy on critical issues as well as our conservation work.
Bequests may be made to three different levels of the Sierra Club; your local Loma Prieta Chapter, Sierra Club California for statewide efforts, or the Sierra Club for nationwide programs.
Your investment will be put to work to further Sierra Club Loma Prieta Chapter efforts to save our planet.
Thank you for your support!
