Planned Giving
Planning for the future and creating a legacy is one of the most powerful ways to create lasting impact. By making a gift in your will or living trust—a bequest—you ensure your commitment to wildlife conservation endures beyond your lifetime. Whether it’s a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after other provisions, your gift will help protect and preserve Australia’s native wildlife for generations to come.
When writing your will, it’s important to keep in mind the people and organisations you want to benefit. Take the time to discuss your choices with your loved ones and friends. By including Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary Ltd in your will, you’re demonstrating your confidence in our organisation and how much you value our work.
There are a number of ways to make a gift in your will to support the work of Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary Ltd, including:
- Set Cash Sum
You choose to leave a specific dollar amount. - Proportion of your Estate
Leaving a percentage of your estate ensures that your gift adjusts with any changes in its size. - Residue of your Estate
A residuary bequest covers any assets not specifically mentioned elsewhere in your will after provisions have been made for family and friends.
Unless otherwise specified, your gift will support vital areas such as the treatment and care of sick and injured wildlife, along with research and advocacy to safeguard their habitats.
Suggested wording for your bequest (example for a residual bequest):
“I give and bequeath (free of all duties) the rest and residue of my estate to Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary Ltd (ABN 68 685 141 897) for its general purposes, with the written acknowledgment of Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary Ltd accepted by my executors as a full and complete discharge.”
You should seek legal advice and you may also wish to speak to an accountant with respect to taxation and financial matters.
Please let us know of your intentions so that we can express our gratitude for helping us help protect and preserve Australia’s native wildlife.
