Learn More About Planned Gifts with Mass Audubon
If you’re interested in supporting Mass Audubon through a charitable gift and want to get started with facts, benefits, and next steps, we’re ready to help. These downloadable resources outline the process of supporting the nature of Massachusetts through a variety of planned gift options. We look forward to hearing from you!
Is this gift right for you?
A gift from your will or trust is for you if:
- You want to help ensure Mass Audubon future viability and strength.
- Long-term planning is more important to you than an immediate income tax deduction.
- You want the flexibility of a gift commitment that doesn't affect your current cash flow.
Your bequest to support our mission should be planned thoughtfully. Many good planning techniques are available, and you should choose the type of bequest that best suits your personal objectives.
For example, your bequest can be a stated dollar amount, or you can bequeath specific property to Mass Audubon. Some of our friends prefer to bequeath a certain percentage of the remainder of their estate — the amount that remains after paying all debts, costs, and other prior legacies. (You can visit our Sample Gift Language to get you started.)
Whichever form you prefer, you can direct that your bequest be used for our greatest needs or for a specific purpose you designate. Whatever your objectives, we will be happy to work with you in planning a bequest that will be satisfying, economical, and effective in carrying out your wishes in our important mission.
