Ways to Give: Gift Your ‘Āina

A legacy land gift is one of the most meaningful ways to ensure that your ʻāina remains protected and continues to serve Lahaina families for generations. Whether you are exploring a future bequest or considering gifting your land during your lifetime, our team is here to support you in understanding your options, rights, and next steps.

Some donors choose to make a lifetime gift of real estate, either by transferring full ownership now or by creating a retained life estate, which allows you to continue living in your home for the rest of your life while gifting the property to LCLT. These types of completed gifts may provide meaningful tax benefits, including an immediate charitable income tax deduction and retained lifetime use of your home (for retained life estates).

You may also choose to make a future gift by naming LCLT as a beneficiary of your will or living trust. This option allows you to maintain full ownership during your life, while creating a lasting legacy that supports community land stewardship.
