LEAVE A LEGACY
NATURE LOVER LEAVES A LASTING LEGACY FOR RAINFORESTS
Margaret Gordon Harley wanted to make a difference in the world . Because she cared deeply about the future of our planet , she bequeathed her family home in Ohio to Rainforest Trust . Philanthropy staff were notified upon Margaret ’ s death in March of her generous donation .
Margaret was a true lover of nature and animals , and she reflected these values throughout her life . She was a dedicated environmentalist , and her life-long study of subjects related to wildlife and nature was evident in her extensive library of books and movies . The proceeds from the sale of her family home will have a lasting impact on projects across the tropics .
Rainforest Trust works to protect the most threatened landscapes and species on Earth , and to address the climate crisis with the most natural and effective solution available : preventing the deforestation of rainforests . By donating a retirement plan or IRA , life insurance policy — and yes , even your house — to Rainforest Trust , you will help us meet the future with more certainty as we tackle even more ambitious goals for species , climate and people around the globe .
This fall , we committed $ 500 million to the 10-year Protecting Our Planet Challenge to safeguard 30 % of the planet by 2030 . As we work to fulfill this pledge to species and planet , your legacy gift to Rainforest Trust will play a vital role .
