Thank you for considering a bequest to benefit Sierra Club Ohio. When you include us in your planned giving, you are leaving an environmental legacy for future generations.
Bequests may be tax deductible or non-tax deductible. The difference
is how they are used. Tax deductible bequests can only be used for
education and outreach purposes. Non-tax deductible bequests can be
used for advocacy on critical issues as well as our conservation work.
Your legacy gift will be put to work to further Sierra Club Ohio's
efforts to save our planet. Below find the suggested
bequest language.
