Turn your business interests into a gift for nature.

Gifts of business interests, like stock in a closely held corporation or shares in an investment partnership, can be beneficial for both you and The Nature Conservancy. Gifts are usually made outright, but in some cases may be used to fund a life-income arrangement such as a charitable remainder unitrust.
