How to Leave a Legacy Gift
To include IWRC in your Will, simply call your attorney or your local Bar Association for the name of an attorney in your area that specializes in Wills and Estate Planning if you do not already have one.
If you already have a Will, you can amend it without rewriting it entirely by adding a simple document called a codicil. A codicil could be the quickest, easiest and least expensive way to include IWRC in your Will.
Suggested Wording for your Will:
I give, devise and bequeath to the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council, a California nonprofit charitable organization, located at PO Box 3197, Eugene, OR 97403, the sum of $________________ (or a designated portion of the residue of my estate) to be used by IWRC to further its goal of providing science-based education and resources to wildlife rehabilitators and the public to promote wildlife conservation and welfare.
Important information your attorney will need:
- Legal name: International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council
- Legal address: PO Box 3197, Eugene, OR 97403
- IWRC is a non-profit charitable organization
- IWRC’s EIN number is 94-2577910
- IWRC’s 501(c)(3) status under the Internal Revenue Code provides a tax savings for you and your estate
