Central Okanagan Land Trust
The Central Okanagan Land Trust is a registered charity that facilitates preservation of the natural areas and parks in the
Guardian of the Future
Preservation of natural areas today assures ecological benefits for present and future generations.
Creating a Legacy
Outright gifts of land and the registering of covenants on land create a living legacy. The donor fulfils a desire and receives a charitable receipt that reduces taxes on income.
Cash Donations
Gifts of cash may be designated to assist with grants and expenses that help preserve sanctuaries and parks, or may increase the endowment funds that provide annual income for the same purposes.
Generosity of Donors
Donors have generously made outright gifts of properties, registered covenants to preserve habitat; given cash for grants and expenses to help acquire and preserve properties; given cash and shares of public companies to establish endowment funds; and made provisions in their wills that will preserve sanctuaries
