Planned Giving

Secure the future of New York’s birthplace park

A bequest for The Battery is one of the simplest ways to ensure the park’s future. Since The Battery Conservancy was founded in 1994, this historic landscape has benefited greatly from caring friends who have included the park in their estate planning.

Your bequest to The Battery Conservancy can be in the form of a dollar amount; a specified asset such as securities, real estate or personal property; and/or a percentage of property remaining in your estate. Your lawyer or adviser can help arrange a bequest to The Battery.

If you have already named The Battery Conservancy as a beneficiary of your estate plans, please let us know.

For more information, please contact the President’s Office at 212-344-3495, email [email protected], or write to The Battery Conservancy, One Whitehall Street, Floor 17, New York, New York 10004.
