Leave your legacy

Regular donations are critical for meeting day-to-day needs, but transformational gifts shape what’s possible. Large-scale and legacy donors guarantee the future of Zephyr Point and everything we love about it. They maintain our historic cabins for the decades ahead, secure our faith programs for the children of tomorrow, and protect our nature for the long haul. And, more than that, they allow us to look up and look ahead, unlocking new big-picture ideas and facilitating bold investment in the things that really matter. If you want your legacy to change lives, steward the great outdoors, and upkeep beautiful heritage then we invite you to partner with Zephyr Point. 

There is no better gift to future generations than the protection, sustenance, and growth of this sacred space. We’d love to work with you, discovering your ideas and priorities, to enable more education, exploration, and inspiration along this beloved stretch of Lakeshore that we share.

Adopt a cabin

$75,000

Every cabin at Zephyr Point holds a story and was built to welcome visitors, travelers, and families for over 100 years. Within these walls, generations have found shelter, shared meals, reflected on the lake, and deepened their connection to one another and to God.

 

Individuals, families, churches, or organizations are invited to adopt a beloved cabin and help carry these stories into the future. With a $75,000 gift, payable upfront or over three years, you’ll support essential renovations while forming a lasting connection to a place that has shaped so many lives.

 

Your partnership includes a week-long, off-season stay for five years (at any available cabin that suits your organization’s needs) and a commemorative plaque in your honor.

 

Adopting a cabin is a meaningful and tangible way to steward a cherished part of Zephyr Point — and ensure that its story continues for generations to come.

 

endowments and donor-funds

$2,500+

Endowment and donor-advised fund gifts provide steady, long-term support for Zephyr Point’s mission. They help sustain programs, care for the property, and ensure this place continues to offer rest, renewal, and connection.

 

Donor-advised funds are a simple, flexible way to give, offering immediate tax benefits while allowing you to support Zephyr Point over time.

 

They can also become a meaningful way to involve your family in shared generosity.

 

planned and legacy gifts

You can also support Zephyr Point through a future gift, such as a bequest, charitable remainder or lead trust, or by naming Zephyr Point as a beneficiary of a retirement account, insurance policy, or other assets. Many of these options allow you to make a significant impact while aligning with your long-term financial plans.

 

In addition to traditional gifts, Zephyr Point can also receive non-traditional assets such as real estate, business interests, or life insurance, opening even more possibilities for meaningful giving.

 

However you choose to give, your generosity helps ensure that Zephyr Point remains a place of faith, community, and connection to creation for generations to come.
