Leaving a legacy isn’t optional. We will certainly be remembered – it’s really a question of how.

When you think about the legacy you hope to leave, make sure you share your aspirations as well as your assets. In other words, the distribution of the material things you’ve accumulated in your life should reflect your values. If one of the things that matters to you is ensuring our conservation work through professional development continues for generations to come, we invite you to consider a gift through your estate.

You may be surprised to learn you can do so while continuing to retain control over your assets. These pages are a starting point for considering how you can make sure your legacy is reflected in the mission of The Wildlife Society.

The gifts described in these pages are easy to accomplish, are flexible and are a starting point for considering how you can have a significant positive impact on the ability of The Wildlife Society to be here for the next generation.
