Leave your Legacy . . .
Would you like to leave your legacy? Have you ever wondered how you can continue to make a lasting impact for the animals at Wild Spirit, even after you’re gone? Legacy gifts (also known as planned gifts or estate gifts) can help us continue to provide exceptional lifetime care to our rescues for years to come.
The most common forms of legacy giving are gifts donated through your will, bequest, or trust.
There are many ways to create a legacy while helping us to continue our mission. If you already have a will or trust, you can normally add or increase a charitable bequest with a simple one page amendment. And of course, no federal estate taxes will be due on the value of the bequest.
Below is suggested language for gifting and donating to Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary, or other charities of your choice:
