The Livable World Legacy Society
The Livable World Legacy Society is a community of generous and visionary donors who are making a livable world part of their legacy through a gift in their estate plan. Legacy donors help ensure that our work to preserve and protect the California Central Coast continues for the sake of generations to come.
Joining The Livable World Legacy Society is one of the most powerful actions you can take to help end the climate crisis.
A legacy commitment is an investment in transparent, sustainable work that will directly impact the lives of every person in our region – from the most vulnerable to the most affluent – for generations to come.
