Leave a Wildlife Legacy

Many people have left a gift to North Carolina Wildlife Federation in their will, trust, or retirement plans. No matter the size of your investment, a simple bequest assures a lasting impact on wildlife and habitat for generations to come.

If you have been planning to create or update your will and just haven't gotten around to it, we can help! You can use our free will writing tool to take care of the people, and even the wildlife, you love.

Our staff can also answer any questions you have and help you design a gift that will work for you and your loved ones and help protect North Carolina wildlife. We can show you how you can increase your income, reduce or eliminate capital gains and estate taxes, and receive a significant tax reduction now.

To schedule an appointment or get answers to your questions, contact Kate Greiner, VP of Philanthropy, at [email protected] or 704-332-5696. If you have left a gift to NCWF in your will, trust, or retirement plans please share your news with us! We'd like to thank you, understand your wishes, and celebrate your commitment to the cause.

Four easy ways you can be a philanthropist for wildlife:

  1. Make a gift to NCWF in your will or trust. Find out how easy it is to put wildlife in your plans. Use our free will writing tool to get started.
  2. Make NCWF a beneficiary of your retirement plan. You can consider full, partial or percentage options to benefit wildlife.
  3. Consider a gift of life insurance that your family has “outgrown” or make NCWF a partial or full beneficiary of your plan.
  4. Build your gift by using real estate and personal property.

A gift to NCWF in your will, trust, or retirement plans proclaims your confidence that we will continue to serve our mission and make a difference for North Carolina’s wildlife, wild places and future generations.
