We Know Real Estate

An asset you've had for generations can be a gift for generations to come. By donating all or part of your property to The Nature Conservancy, you may be able to reduce your capital gains tax, receive an income tax deduction, and receive income for life—and you may even be able to continue to use or live on the property. Best of all, your gift will support vital conservation work.


The Conservancy used the proceeds to benefit conservation work in our home state of Missouri as well as in Micronesia and Papua New Guinea.
