Donate to Protect Our Region

Create a legacy that will have an impact on Western Pennsylvania for years to come!

Your will or trust is a reflection of your values. You can continue to protect Western Pennsylvania’s exceptional places through your estate without impacting your current standard of living. Bequests in a will or trust are one of the most common ways of making a legacy gift.

It's simple to establish.

Include WPC or Fallingwater in your will by adding a codicil to your existing document or naming it as a beneficiary in a new will. You choose the bequest gift that works best for you, such as:

• Specific Bequest: Designates a specific dollar amount/asset to benefit the Conservancy.
• Percentage Bequest: Designates the percentage of your estate to WPC.
• Residuary Bequest: After all necessary costs and bequests to others have been satisfied, any remainder of your estate will be distributed to the Conservancy.
• Contingent Bequest: Assumes you want to leave your entire estate to family and friends. However, if you outlive any beneficiary, you can instruct that WPC receive that portion of your estate.
