How it works
 |
You transfer cash, securities or other appreciated property into a trust. |
 |
The trust pays a percentage of the value of its principal, which is re-valued annually, to you or to beneficiaries you name. |
 |
When the trust terminates, the remainder passes to Defenders of Wildlife. |

Benefits

- You pay no upfront capital gains tax on appreciated assets you donate.
- You or your designated beneficiaries receive income for life or a term of years.
- You can make additional gifts to the trust as your circumstances allow and qualify for additional tax deductions.
- You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift that benefits you now and Defenders of Wildlife later.
