Project-specific support
There is no more important or lasting final act than making
a bequest to conserve the environment for future generations.
We recognize that donors may have very specific intentions
for their bequest, and we deeply wish to honor these intentions.
The most rigorous language you could use in your gift planning
is the following:
 |
I give _________________________________ to the Wildlife
Conservation Network, a California nonprofit corporation,
with principal business address of 25745 Bassett Lane,
Los Altos, CA 94022, for the benefit of <Name
of WCN Partner Project>.
|
We live in an uncertain world, especially when talking about
the extensive time frames involved in planned giving. Circumstances
beyond anyone's control may lead to unpredictable situations.
In the ideal scenario, conservation efforts may no longer
be necessary to protect a species. Conversely, in the worst
case scenario the species may have become extinct. To address
this type of remote possibility, we would prefer the latitude
of the following language:
 |
I give _________________________________ to the Wildlife
Conservation Network, a California nonprofit corporation,
with principal business address of 25745 Bassett Lane,
Los Altos, CA 94022, for the benefit of <Name
of WCN Partner Project>, except in extreme circumstances,
such as extinction of the target species of the designated
project, wherein an approval of the WCN board could
reallocate the funds to where they are most needed.
|
Whatever language you choose, we sincerely appreciate your
vision for the future of wildlife conservation and we are
deeply appreciative of the trust that you've shown in WCN
and our Partners to realize that vision.
