Leave a Legacy to Audubon Canyon Ranch

Marty Griffin had a dream . . .

In 1961, Marty Griffin dared to dream of saving an historic piece of the Marin County coast. Over the years, others have partnered with Audubon Canyon Ranch to share their dream of keeping part of California wild and pristine, among them David Bouverie, Clifford Conly, Jim and Shirley Modini. They have been joined by dozens of individuals whose love for this land and the work of ACR have inspired legacy gifts. Do you have a dream, too?

Planned gfts allow donors to provide future benefits to causes they care for, usually through a bequest in a will or living trust. The donor controls the bequest during life. Other methods provide the donor with immediate tax and financial benefits.

Why Make A Planned Gift to Audubon Canyon Ranch? A planned gift to Audubon Canyon Ranch will help to ensure that we meet our mission of protecting nature through land preservation, environmental education and conservation science. School children and visitors, guided by trained Docents and Ranch Guides, will continue to hike our trails and enjoy the plants, and animals that take shelter in our preserves. Your gift can help provide an enduring source of income for the future of Audubon Canyon Ranch.
