Welcome. Let’s build a legacy through planned giving. It’s easier than you think.
If you’re here, it’s likely the Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation has had an impact on you and now you want to make an impact in other lives. Planned giving can extend that impact in ways you may have never even realized were possible. Planned giving, also referred to as gift planning and planned gifts or legacy giving/gifts, are designated through the assets of your estate. Some allow you to receive immediate tax benefits now—and even a recurring income for life. Others provide a way to include PPFF as a beneficiary in your will.
We’ve created the PPFF Conservation Legacy Society to thank people just like you who further PPFF’s mission through legacy gifts. As a member, you become part of an exclusive group of friends who ensure PPFF continues to inspire stewardship of Pennsylvania’s state parks and forests far into the future.

If you’ve already made a planned gift to the Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation, please let us know. We would be honored to welcome you into the Conservation Legacy Society.
THE GIVE THAT BENEFITS EVERYONE
Planned gifts are often viewed as an option for wealthy philanthropists. The truth is, gifts to PPFF are easy to make and a wise investment in your future—and in ours. They provide a way for you, regardless of your age or income level, to support PPFF in a much more significant way than you may have ever realized was possible, while also reducing or eliminating certain taxes for you or your loved ones. (Click here to download our free resource: “Why Is an Estate Plan Important.”)
We’ve created a valuable reference guide where you can find information about the options and advantages of most planned gifts. Click here to learn how gift planning helps PPFF continue to to inspire stewardship of Pennsylvania’s state parks and forests through public engagement in volunteerism, education, and recreation for generations to come.

Friends Groups
Your special affinity for a specific park or forest means that a PPFF chapter friends group is the perfect outlet for your creative energy. Friends are people like you who volunteer their time, services and support to our state parks and forests. Chapters form for a variety of reasons but all understand the value of their state park or forest and share a common goal to make that park or forest the best in the commonwealth.
Our Work
Volunteers are the lifeblood of any nonprofit. Whether you’re a trailbuilder, a wildlife expert, an event organizer, or one of those special people who always say, “Just put me to work wherever you need me,” Pennsylvania’s state parks and forests have a role for you.
Find your niche. Make your voice heard with decision makers. Pitch in with a friends group. Work on your own or with your family, friends, and co-workers as a Steward of Penn’s Woods. Support any of the programs and initiatives we promote. You will be welcome as a volunteer. And it’s as good for you as it is for your state parks and forests!
Protect Our Parks and Forests
