Bequests designated in a will help to build a sound financial future for Chewonki. This type of gift will help Chewonki build its endowment and reduce the estate taxes of the donor bringing numerous benefits to both. Donors may decide on a percentage or portion of their estate to be left to Chewonki and in doing so lessen the burden of inheritance taxes for their loved ones at the same time they are leaving a valued legacy that will serve as a keystone in Chewonki’s future success. Cash bequests are critical in order to continue our commitment to diversity through scholarships in all programs, to attract and support outstanding wilderness trip leaders and teachers, and to have general stability in all financial climates.
