What New Tax Law Changes Mean for Your Legacy

This past summer, Congress passed major tax legislation that will shape estate planning and charitable giving for years to come. For Camp Friends, these changes create new opportunities to plan your legacy while supporting the place you love.

One of the most significant updates is the increase in the estate and gift tax exemption beginning in 2026. This gives families more flexibility in how they pass on assets to loved ones and to charitable organizations like Camp Ondessonk. At the same time, new rules around charitable deductions may influence how and when you choose to give.

For many, this makes now an ideal time to review your estate plans. Whether you’ve already included Camp in your will or are just beginning to think about your legacy, small adjustments today can make a lasting difference for future generations of campers.

By working with your advisor and exploring options like bequests, charitable trusts, or beneficiary designations, you can ensure your plan reflects both your family’s needs and your values. If you’d like to talk through how these changes may impact your giving, we’re always here to help.
