Defenders of Wildlife has established the Wildlife Legacy Society to recognize and honor those individuals who care deeply about protecting wildlife for future generations and have expressed their commitment by making a gift to Defenders in their estate plans.

There are several ways to provide a gift to Defenders of Wildlife that will endure beyond your lifetime. A commitment made through your will, living trust, retirement plan, life insurance policy, charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust will entitle you to membership in Defenders' Wildlife Legacy Society.

We can help you structure your estate to best meet both your personal and philanthropic goals. Many of these plans can provide significant tax and financial advantages to you and your loved ones.
