Planned giving is a great way to make your legacy a force for nature. Members of the Diversity of Life Society have made a special commitment to sustain WildEarth Guardians' work for the long-term. Some opportunities for legacy giving include:
- Protecting clean water and wild forests;
- Restoring wolves to the Southern Rockies;
- Initiating a renewable energy campaign;
- Ensuring prairie dogs - the West's ecological engineers - survive for future generations;
- Saving the Sagebrush Sea;
- Endowing a conservation director's position;
- Sponsoring a legal campaign or Endangered Species Act petition; and
- Producing a video to raise awareness of the need to protect wildlife.
There are various ways you can make a financial commitment from your will, living trust, or other estate plans to protect the environment. All of these options offer various tax benefits designed to encourage charitable giving.
We welcome the opportunity to show you the potential benefits of making a gift to support our work. To learn more about planned giving options and about resources to help you make the best decision for you, contact us today.
