Legacy Circle
Protecting our local waters requires constant vigilance. To help ensure that the NSRWA continues to be a strong and effective voice for our local waters into the future, a group of benefactors have left bequests to the organization. These generous individuals are recognized as members of NSRWA’s Legacy Circle.
Please consider leaving a legacy gift to the NSRWA. Whether you name the NSRWA as a beneficiary in your will, retirement accounts, or insurance policy, you are ensuring that your assets go to a cause that is important to you and that healthy local waters will be supported for future generations.
To join our Legacy Circle or find out more about the program, please contact Samantha Woods at 781-659-8168 or send an email to samantha@nsrwa.org.
Have you already named NSRWA in your will or trust? Please use this form to let us know. We would love to thank you for your generosity and offer you the opportunity to be listed as a Legacy Circle Member! The information that you share on the form is nonbinding. If changes are made after submission, please contact NSRWA to let us know.

Having grown up on the North and South rivers, spending thousands of days waterskiing, clamming, boating, fishing, hunting and just chillin’, NSRWA’s responsible and forward thinking daily stewardship continues to maintain and grow this incredible resource in a good way for generations to come.
This well-run organization has inspired me to estate plan and donate a significant legacy financial gift when I pass on to help NSRWA carry the torch to keep the mission candle burning to live on. I encourage others to do the same.
With gratitude,
Brad White, Marshfield Hills
I included NSRWA in my estate plan to support their efforts in improving water quality, restoring our land and rivers, and protecting the vital fish and natural resources that sustain the South Shore. Their work not only enhances the beauty of our local landscapes but also ensures continued access to recreation and clean water for generations to come. By contributing, I am investing in a future where our environment thrives and our communities remain connected to the natural world.

Naming NSRWA in Your Will
With a simple phrase added to your will, you can impact the health of our waters and the lives of future Riverhuggers for years to come. Your legacy gift will have a profound multiplying effect, empowering scores of conservation-minded people well into the future.
If you are interested in bequeathing a gift to NSRWA in your will, talk to your financial adviser about how that might fit in your overall estate planning.
Non-probate Assets
Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so, these are called non-probate assets and you must name your beneficiaries for them separately. Many financial custodians offer the opportunity to name beneficiaries for your account via your online profile. Others require that their forms be downloaded and completed. Contact your custodian to learn how you can add beneficiaries to your investment accounts.
