How it Works: Beneficiary Designation

Leaving a lasting impact with The Land Institute is an easy process. Designate “The Land Institute” as a beneficiary or partial beneficiary for accounts such as:

Retirement Plan Account (such as an IRA)

Designating The Land Institute as a beneficiary of your retirement plan, such as an IRA, is a strategic and tax-efficient way to support our mission. Unlike other assets, retirement plans are subject to unique tax considerations. By directing all or a portion of these funds to The Land Institute, you can optimize the benefit.

Certificates of Deposit, Bank and Brokerage Accounts, and Life Insurance Policies

Consider naming The Land Institute as a beneficiary for assets like certificates of deposit, bank or brokerage accounts, or life insurance policies you no longer require.

Donor-Advised Funds

You can make a meaningful choice by naming The Land Institute the beneficiary of donations remaining in your donor-advised fund after your lifetime.
