Pooled Income Funds

Gift Overview

Help conservation in the future by naming the Conservancy as a beneficiary of a Pooled Income Fund.

How it works
  1. You transfer cash or securities to the Pooled Income Fund.
  2. The fund issues you units, like a mutual fund, and pays you, or up to two income beneficiaries, the annual income attributable to your units for life.The principal attributed to your units passes to The Nature Conservancy when the last income beneficiary dies.
