The Carpenter Society- Leave a Legacy for Future Generations

We all value access to healthy wildlife habitat and opportunities for our children to enjoy learning about the natural world. Your gift can ensure that Carpenter Nature Center is serving our community for generations to come. A Legacy Gift to the Carpenter Nature Center continues beyond our time and benefits those who walk after us.

You will be recognized as a member of the Thomas & Edna Carpenter Society. Society members receive invitations to special programs, events and functions, subscription to our newsletter and annual recognition for their philanthropy.

Society membership is about life, not death. If you’re still migrating through the seasons, enjoy the benefits and friendships that come from membership today. Carpenter is a social and family gathering place. Come for quiet walks, large social events, education programs and world class exhibits.

Defining our legacy is a personal choice and often difficult to do. Many now seek ways to make a direct charitable impact with specific bequests and endowments to local charities they know. To discuss your Legacy Gift, please call to Executive Director Jennifer at (651) 437-4359.  We’ll discuss your charitable goals and align them with our own Foundation’s goals and objectives.
