Celebrate your passion for bike travel—and the role Adventure Cycling has played in your journey—by making a planned gift that helps carry our mission into the future.

Adventure Cycling has accomplished a lot since the Bikecentennial ride of 1976. We have always counted on dedicated and passionate members like you to help us go the extra mile. As we enter our second half-century, we invite you to join our Legacy Society by naming Adventure Cycling as a beneficiary in your estate plans to ensure that the next generation of bike travelers can rely on us for the routes, resources, and inspiration that have served you.

Check out these Legacy Society members who were featured in past issues of our magazine! There are so many stories like theirs, and we are honored to celebrate yours. Of course, we respect any decision to remain anonymous in our recognition.

Starting at square one?

Consult a professional to understand your financial, legal, and tax implications. They can help you tailor your bequest to meet your specific needs and advise you on how to best plan for the future.

There are many types of planned gifts. The best estate plans are smart, provide tax savings, create a legacy, and help you and your loved ones. Some even allow you to see gifts in action during your lifetime with no effect on disposable income. Making a charitable bequest in your will is often simple and straightforward. You can choose to dedicate a specific dollar amount or percentage of your estate to Adventure Cycling. Your bequest can also be made contingent on circumstances that put family members first. Another option is to make a “residuary” bequest. This puts all expenses, debts, and other bequests first in line. What remains will support your love for bike travel.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to learn more. We thank you for your consideration and are honored to be a part of your legacy.
