August is National Make-A-Will Month, a meaningful reminder to consider the lasting impact you can make for the people and causes you care about most. For many friends of Franklin Park Conservatory, a planned gift is an opportunity to ensure that future generations can experience the beauty, education, and connection to nature that have made the Conservatory such a special part of their lives.
As one member of the Heirloom Society, the Conservatory’s recognition society for individuals who include the Conservatory in their estate plans, shared, “I joined the Heirloom Society because I believe I have to leave a legacy for future generations to experience the richness of the Conservatory.” Another reflected that “One doesn’t have to be a millionaire to leave a legacy… no amount is considered too small to leave a legacy.” Planned gifts of all sizes help sustain the Conservatory’s mission and create a lasting impact on our community.
Whether you’ve been connected to the Conservatory for years or recently discovered us, a gift through your will or estate plan can help ensure that families continue to gather, students continue to learn and visitors continue to find inspiration here for generations to come.

Thank you for helping grow a legacy of nature, beauty and community at Franklin Park Conservatory.
