Legacy Gifts

Want to make a lasting contribution to the forests, rivers, and wildlife of Mt. Hood? Consider including Bark into your will, living trust, or insurance policy.   

Gifts Through Your Bequest or Will   

Legacy gifts cost you nothing now, there is no minimum contribution, and can be updated at any time. You can designate a specific amount, a percentage of your total estate, or a share of the residue after gifts to your heirs.  

Sample Bequest Language I hereby give to the Trustees of Bark, an Oregon charitable organization, tax identification number 93-1263288, (hereafter referred to as Bark), the following:

  • personal property (describe the item in detail), or
  • a sum of $____, or
  • percent % of the residue of my estate

Life Insurance, IRAs, 401Ks  

Leave Bark as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or retirement ‘vehicle.’  Tax savings for these ‘vehicles’ vary, so consult your financial advisor to learn what suits your situation.

Real Estate or Vehicles 

If you’d like to donate a house, a piece of property, or a vehicle to Bark, we graciously accept it. Gifts are evaluated by their long-term maintenance or relevance to the Bark’s mission, and may be a determining factor.

For more information or to notify us that you would like to make a legacy gift, please contact our Director of Community Engagement and Communications, Jade Hagan, at jade@bark-out.org.
