Leave a Legacy

We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors. We borrow it from our children.

The fight against extinction is a long-term effort.  By naming Wildlife Preservation Canada as a beneficiary in your will, you can help save at-risk wildlife for future generations.  Our policy is to apply bequests of more than $5,000 over multiple years, in order to build a sustainable funding base for long-term species recovery work.  A bequest may also offer significant tax savings for your estate.

Insert one or more donor features

Do we want to encourage donors to advise us that we have been named?  If so, how?

There are many ways to leave legacy gifts.  To give a defined amount or portion of your estate in your will, you may use the language below, which has been provided by a Canadian estate law expert.  It is also possible to give property, the proceeds of your RRSP or RRIF, or an insurance policy.  For more information, consult your financial planner or contact us.
