Planned Legacy Giving
Create Your Lasting Legacy
Creating a planned gift through your will or another part of your estate plan enables you to make a lasting impact on the next generation of scientists and researchers at NSF NCAR and UCAR.
In a world where the only constant seems to be change, UCAR and NSF NCAR have been committed for more than 60 years to addressing the intricate challenges of our Earth by ensuring that cutting-edge research and innovation in atmospheric and Earth system science is a priority.
We invite you to become part of this scientific legacy and ensure this important work continues on into the future.
There are many ways to plan a legacy gift while also taking advantage of potential tax savings and maintaining flexibility if your circumstances change. To help you get started on your plans and legacy, Friends of the National Center has partnered with FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.

UCAR supported me in so many ways during the time that I worked at the organization. So when it came time to write my will, I knew I wanted to give something back.
My hope is that my gift will ensure the next generation of scientists has the support they need to continue the great work happening here.
