Planned Giving
Leave a Lasting Legacy
Through a planned estate gift, you can establish a legacy that supports Wave Hill’s world-renowned horticultural collections, preserves our magnificent views and ensures our programs have a lasting impact for generations to come. The simplest and most popular planned gift is a bequest made through one’s will or living trust.
The Vista Society recognizes those who have chosen to leave a charitable gift to Wave Hill in their estate plans. Vista Society Members receive special benefits and recognition, but more importantly, they are investors in Wave Hill’s future and mission, inspiring the human spirit and connecting our visitors to the natural world.
