More Ways To Help

Gifts by Will (Bequests)

A bequest may be particularly attractive as a gift option if you are unable to make a current (outright) gift, but would like to contribute to The Nature of Wildworks in a meaningful way. By including The Nature of Wildworks in your will or estate plan, you make an investment in our future and our mission to connect people with wildlife to inspire responsibility and respect for the world we share.

​

Bequests can take several forms such as:

  • Specific bequest - a certain amount of cash, securities, or property.

  • General bequest - property that is similar to all other items distributed, usually cash.

  • Percentage bequest - a stated percentage of the donor's estate.

  • Residual bequest - all or a portion of what remains of the estate after specific and general bequests are distributed.

​

Bequests help both nonprofits and donors. Donors often wish to leave money to their favorite causes, and they and their heirs may receive considerable tax benefits in the process.

List Of Items You Can Donate To The Nature Of Wildworks

The Nature of Wildworks is a nonprofit 501(c)3 and we rely completely on donations to care for our animals. By donating items, you reduce the amount of money we need to spend on those items, which means we have more money to spend on vet bills and other necessary purchases that come up. You are directly helping us rescue and care for our animals! If you would like to donate any of these items please contact Meagan at meagan@natureofwildworks.org.
