Planned Giving:

Make your mark in time!  Some conservancy members think the only way to help save archaeological sites is through membership dues. While dues are a constant lifeline, there are many ways you can support the Conservancy’s work, both today and well into the future. And by supporting the Conservancy, you not only safeguard our past for your children and grandchildren, you may also save some money.  Each Year the Conservancy  receives substantial support through bequests, annual planned giving and gifts of securities.
