Legacy Giving
It can be greatly gratifying and rewarding to know that you can make a significant contribution to saving our tigers by remembering Save China’s Tigers in a Legacy Will or Bequest. Making our charity a beneficiary of your estate or as a bequest can be easy. Usually, a simple amendment prepared by your lawyer when you modify your will is all that is necessary.
You can also specify how the funds are to be used (ie: toward the breeding program) but, it is a good idea to check with us first so that we can assure the gift can be used as you intended. Bequests can be easily modified if your circumstances change.
There are several types of that allow you to designate how your estate will be distributed.
Specific Bequest: a specific amount or item to a specific entity or organization.
General Bequest: this type of bequest does not specify the source from which it should be paid. This gives your executor the flexibility to honour the bequest from any available source.
Residuary Bequest: This type of bequest is honoured after all other bequests have been made, and all debts, expenses and taxes have been paid.
Contingent Bequest: This type of bequest is fulfilled if certain conditions are met. For instance, if your primary beneficiary does not survive you, you can indicate your next choice through a contingent designation.
There are many other ways to give including: stocks, real estate, life insurance, etc. If you are considering a non-cash donation, let us know the specifics of the type of gift being considered so we can make specific recommendations.
We encourage you to talk to your lawyer about the various possibilities of giving and we would be pleased to answer any enquiries you might have. Thank you so much for considering Save China’s Tigers for your legacy offering, do not hesitate to contact us for further information at:
