Donations & Memberships
To ensure that the Kenai Peninsula’s beauty and wildlife continue long into the future, make an online donation or send in a check to:
Kachemak Heritage Land Trust
315 Klondike Ave
Homer, Alaska 99603
By giving $1 or more, you are considered a "member" of KHLT for the year. We typically send out two rounds or "member renewal reminder" mailings—one in the fall and one in the spring.

Predictable funds through monthly gifts are wonderful for non-profits as they save paper, postage, staff time and help us predict the amount of funds coming in to our organization. If you choose this option, your credit card will be billed and you can cancel anytime.
Year-End Giving
KHLT’s Year-End Campaign offers the opportunity to make a year-end matching gift supporting our important conservation work. Gifts to the appeal are matched dollar-for-dollar by our U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Coastal Program grant.

Legacy Gifts
Each generation has its own rendezvous with the land, for despite our fee titles and claims of ownership, we are all brief tenants on this planet. By choice, or by default, we will carve out a land legacy for our heirs.
~ STEWART UDALL
Leaving a legacy gift offers individuals like you an opportunity to carry a gift far into the future. For some people, legacy giving can be a way to contribute to organizations they care about when they have not had the ability to make gifts during their lifetime.
A legacy gift, or bequest, is a gift made to charity in your will or trust. A significant benefit of making a bequest gift of land to KHLT is that it allows you to continue to use the property during your life. Please talk to us first – come in or call us before you give a legacy gift. Take time to share your vision, concerns and timeline. Discuss our conservation requirements and our unique options. With careful planning, donors may receive financial benefits while creating a meaningful legacy.
It is important to discuss all potential donations or sales with an attorney and/or tax advisor, as each person’s situation is unique. KHLT does not provide specific tax or legal advice.
In celebration of KHLT’s 35th anniversary, we are launching the Legacy Giving Circle. We are incredibly grateful to have secured a $25,000 pledge, and with each notification we receive that someone has put KHLT in their estate plans, $2,500 will be donated to KHLT from the pledge. Will YOU be one of the 10 individuals who help us reach $25,000 this year by putting KHLT in your legacy plans? Join our Legacy Giving Circle today by letting us know you’ve put us in your will.
