Consider Island Conservation in your long-term gift planning.
Your gift is a promise for a future filled with vibrant biodiversity, resilient oceans, and thriving island communities.
By including Island Conservation in your estate or trust, you invest in groundbreaking restoration projects and innovative conservation methods that deliver multiple benefits to islands, nature, and people.
Join the Islands Forever Society
To sustain Island Conservation’s work restoring islands around the world, bequests and other types of estate gifts are transformative. These gifts allow Island Conservation to flourish and grow as a proven, effective, and nimble leader in the conservation field.
The Islands Forever Society is a group of people who want to continue this tradition by including Island Conservation in their will, living trust, or other estate plans. Members have the opportunity to participate in an array of offerings, and are invited to exclusive events and donor trips to meet peers and gain an inside look from our scientists in the field.

A Note from Jim Torgerson
“While the accelerating rate of climate change can invite despair, there are ways to respond. In my judgement, investing in the work of Island Conservation is one of the most effective possible responses.
It’s why I’m pleased to contribute to the work of Island Conservation now. But I know the work of restoring islands for nature and people worldwide will need to continue after I’m gone.”
