Support NYRP’s future today and unlock $1,000 immediately through The Rose Society Match!

Thanks to the generosity and vision of New York Restoration Project founder Bette Midler, this limited-time opportunity is available to supporters who add or who notify us of NYRP in their estate plans by December 31, 2026.

UNLOCK THE MATCH

Including New York Restoration Project in your estate plans provides you with enhanced tax benefits and will ensure that your vision for a greener city is sustained for future generations. All planned giving donors will be recognized as members of NYRP’s prestigious Rose Society. 

Planned gifts include:

  • Creating a bequest for NYRP in the donor’s will. 
  • Designating NYRP as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement account. 
  • Creating a life income gift plan, such as a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust, that pays the donor income for life and then contributes to NYRP. 
  • Establishing a charitable lead trust that provides income to NYRP before passing assets to beneficiaries.

Additional information is available in our Gift Planning Guide.

Members of The Rose Society know that greening New York City isn’t a one-and-done project—it takes lasting investments to sustain a greener, healthier city for the New Yorkers of tomorrow. While the satisfaction of giving back to the community is the primary intent, the value of a planned gift to the donor may also include enhanced tax benefits or return of income. Your lawyer or accountant may also provide further information on the benefits of planned giving. 

If you have included or plan to include NYRP in your estate plans, please contact our team at [email protected] and fill out our Confidential Letter of Intention. All requests and discussions are confidential and without obligation.
