Defenders of Wildlife established the Wildlife Legacy Society to recognize exceptionally dedicated individuals who care deeply about protecting wildlife for future generations and have expressed their commitment by making a gift to Defenders in their estate plans.
There are several ways to provide a gift to Defenders of Wildlife that will endure beyond your lifetime. A commitment made through your will or trust, retirement plan, charitable gift annuity, life insurance policy or charitable remainder trust will entitle you to membership in Defenders' Wildlife Legacy Society.
We can help you choose a legacy gift that will meet both your personal and philanthropic goals. Many of these gifts can provide significant tax and financial advantages to you and your loved ones.
If you would like more information, please contact the Planned Giving Team at 1-800-915-6789 or legacy@defenders.org.
