Donor Advised Fund (DAF)

A donor advised fund is a way to simplify your giving by making a gift to a fund with us that can distribute gifts to the charities of your choice during your lifetime and help your children carry on your legacy of giving after you are gone.

Stocks & Bonds

Donating appreciated securities, including stocks or bonds, is an easy and tax-effective way for you to make a gift to our organization.

Legacy Society Member

Joan Young

"Although I don't have a lot to leave to the NCTA via a legacy gift, it's really important to me that I be included in the group of people who are making a point to say, 'The North Country Trail is something special, and I would like to be a part of the effort to sustain it even after I am gone.' Twenty years ago, it was little more than a hope to call the North Country National Scenic Trail a premier hiking trail. Now, that hope is being realized, and hikers are becoming aware that this trail has treasures to discover. I want to be remembered as a helpful character in the effort to make every mile of the NCNST a premier experience."
