A few simple legacy gift options
Bequests
Bequests are gifts made through your will or living trust of a specific item or asset. This is an easy way to invest in Wildlands Network’s future - and they can be changed or modified at any time.
Life Insurance Designations
Making a beneficiary designation through your life insurance plan is an easy way to support wildlife connectivity. By naming Wildlands Network as your beneficiary of an individual or group term life insurance policy, the benefits from your policy pass to us free of federal estate tax after your lifetime.
Retirement Plan Gifts
Use your tax deferred retirement plan assets (IRA, 401k or other qualified plans) to protect wildlife by leaving Wildlands Network as your beneficiary. It’s a simple and tax-efficient way to leave a legacy for the wild. By designating Wildlands Network, the residual of your plan passes on to us tax-free, avoiding both the estate tax and income tax.
Creating your legacy for the wild
At Wildlands Network, we’ve been working for over three decades to connect,
restore, and protect wildlands across the continent for nature and wildlife to thrive.
Thank you for your commitment to the future of this critical work.
