A gift to Green Chimneys through your estate and financial planning is a great way to help ensure our innovative programs continue to help children well into the future.
Bequests are an easy way to include Green Chimneys in your estate plan and they are not subject to estate tax. Bequests can also be designated for a specific purpose other than general support. Simply name Green Chimneys as a beneficiary as you prepare your will or living trust. If you already have a will or living trust, you may add Green Chimneys as a beneficiary through a codicil or trust amendment.
Whether you are considering making a specific, residuary or contingent bequest, consult with your attorney or other advisors to make sure that the bequest you chose makes sense as part of your overall estate plan.

With the completion of an elaborate new habitat built by Green Chimneys’ woodshop students, the Farm Science classroom was able to welcome Brownie into her new home. Brownie previously lived alone in her cage in the farm and wildlife office, but guinea pigs do best in larger environments. The new habitat allows her to live in a herd as she would in the wild, with many places to hide and ways to practice her skills. Brownie has always been a social creature, and she has taken over the guinea pig herd but is a very peaceful leader.
