The Pillar Society honors and recognizes individuals and families who have made gifts to the Los Angeles Conservancy through their will, trust, retirement plan, or estate. Just as pillars hold up buildings, Los Angeles Conservancy’s Pillar Society members, through their planned gifts, provide substantial support for our efforts to protect L.A.’s historic places—and enjoy exclusive benefits, too!

There are many ways to remember the Los Angeles Conservancy in your estate plans and build a legacy that will preserve L.A.’s architectural and cultural heritage for generations.

• Include the Conservancy in your will or living trust with a dollar amount or percentage of your estate.
• Designate the Conservancy as a retirement plan or life insurance policy beneficiary.
• Leave the Conservancy a gift of personal property such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or real estate.

The Los Angeles Conservancy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Federal Tax ID: 95-3273046). We encourage you to consult your legal and financial advisors when considering a planned gift.

Plan today so that your legacy endures beyond your lifetime!

We’ve partnered with FreeWill, a free estate-planning resource that guides you through creating a will or trust in just 20 minutes! Through this convenient platform, you can remember the Conservancy with a planned gift, designate beneficiaries, notify us about intentions, and become a member of our Pillar Society planned giving group.

Your membership in the Pillar Society entails no dues or solicitations, but it does allow us to thank and recognize you for the plans you have made. It may also inspire others to follow your lead. Your gift will be kept completely confidential if you prefer to remain anonymous.

Pillar Society members receive:

• An invitation to an annual special event with the Conservancy President
• A Pillar Society membership certificate
• Acknowledgment on our website (below)
• A complimentary subscription to LAndmark, the Conservancy’s new member quarterly (if you don’t already receive it)
