Ways to Give – Planned Giving

Let your passion for wildlife become your legacy. Support Wild Care through Planned Giving and protect the Cape’s wildlife into the future! Here’s how…

Wills and Trusts

Bequests

Bequests are easy to write and are revocable, and you may change beneficiaries at any time. They cost nothing during your lifetime and they are very personal.

Wild Care has made the process less daunting! View some sample language and a range of options for leaving a bequest to Wild Care.
