You can plan a gift to SAMO Fund by will or revocable trust.

The bequest may be unrestricted or it may be limited to funding a particular project or program.

Here is an example of language that may be used to remember the Santa Monica Mountains Fund in your estate plan: “I give (cash of ) or (specific property) to the Santa Monica Mountains Fund.” Language may be added designating a particular use for the funds, or designating the funds “in memory” of a loved one.
