By naming Foothills Conservancy of North Carolina as a beneficiary of your IRA, a life insurance policy, or including us in your will, you create a lasting legacy that ensures land and water conservation, in perpetuity.

FCNC’s Pinnacle Society recognizes these thoughtful people who have chosen to leave a lasting legacy of land and water conservation through a bequest to the conservancy — either in their will or by naming the conservancy as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement plan, such as an IRA. We honor and thank these generous forward-thinking individuals.
