Bequest Language

Planning for the future and creating the legacy you wish to leave is one of the most effective ways to ensure a lasting impact. Making a gift in your will or living trust, known as a bequest, can guarantee that your legacy endures through your support of WWF and our mission. Your gift may be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after all other provisions are specified.

Below is suggested language to use when working with your attorney to draft your bequest.

If you have named World Wildlife Fund in your will or trust, it helps us to know in advance, both so we can thank you and for future planning. However, if you prefer to remain anonymous, we still would like to know, and will keep your name and gift in strict confidence.
