A bequest is a simple, meaningful way to leave a lasting gift to Beech Creek through your will or trust, supporting the Beech Creek as a whole or the programs closest to your heart.

 

It costs nothing today, but offers the comfort of knowing your love for this place will continue to grow, inspire, and thrive long into the future.

By naming Beech Creek as a beneficiary of your retirement assets, you can create a lasting impact without changing your will.

 

This thoughtful choice may also be one of the most tax-efficient ways to give, allowing more of your hard-earned savings to support the Garden’s future rather than being lost to taxes.

A Charitable Gift Annuity allows you to care for the Garden you love while also caring for yourself, turning a meaningful gift into a dependable income for life.

 

It’s a beautiful way to create lasting impact, receive financial peace of mind, and know your generosity will continue to help the Garden grow for years to come.

A Charitable Remainder Trust lets you support Beech Creek while still receiving income from your assets during your lifetime or a set term.

 

When the trust ends, your gift becomes a lasting investment in the Garden’s future—often with meaningful tax benefits along the way.

This thoughtful gift allows you to make an immediate impact and receive a tax deduction—helping both the Garden’s future and your own financial goals grow together.
