Every year, salmon return to the streams and rivers of the North Olympic Peninsula, completing a cycle that has sustained people, wildlife, and ecosystems for millennia. At the North Olympic Salmon Coalition, our mission is to ensure these cycles continue for generations to come. One way you can help is by including NOSC in your estate plans.

Legacy gifts provide a lasting impact on the health of our watersheds, forests, and salmon runs. They allow us to:

• Restore habitat at the scale salmon need.
• Educate the next generation of environmental stewards.
• Build resilience for our community, fishers, and local economies.

Your gift ensures that the rivers and streams we care for today will remain strong, healthy, and abundant for future generations.

There are many ways to leave a meaningful gift to NOSC:

• Bequests – Include NOSC in your will or trust. Don't have a will yet? You can create one for free today.
• Retirement Accounts (IRA, 401k) – Name NOSC as a beneficiary, often reducing tax burdens for heirs.
• Life Insurance Policies – Designate NOSC as a beneficiary of your policy.
• Donor Advised Funds – Recommend a future grant or designate NOSC as a final beneficiary.
• Charitable Remainder Trusts or Other Planned Gifts – Create income for yourself or loved ones while ensuring a future gift to salmon recovery.

Legacy donors are recognized as members of a special circle of supporters who have chosen to secure the future of wild salmon. With your permission, we will celebrate your generosity in our publications and events, inspiring others to follow your example. You may also remain anonymous.

Creating a legacy gift is simple and can be tailored to your personal circumstances. We encourage you to:

• Speak with your attorney or financial advisor about the best option for your situation.
